List,
Here are some images photographed off the TV-screen
on this story from NRK.
Sorry about the quality. I'm sure the story will be covered with
good photos quite soon now. (My images are large!)

The man was inside and first heard a rumbling sound, went outside,
heard a whistling sound, then a piece hit the corrugated iron
2 m from him, and slid along the length of  the iron plate.
They do look like true typical chondrites, I would say.

(I found one local newspaper that covered the story but no photos and in
norwegian.)


Bjørn Sørheim,
