[meteorite-list] norwegian fall

[Michael Farmer]

I knew it. As a person who lived for some time in British Columbia, these
small rockslides are seen on almost every steep rocky slope.

In this article(norwegian)
http://www.framtidinord.no/nyheter/article45150.ece
it says in the heading (translated):

** A [rock] slide no meteorite. **

(This story is also on the front page of www.framtidinord.no at the moment).

The location has been know to [many] locals since a month back.
Many has turned to the newspaper with this information in the last days.
Locals has known the slide since the snow disappeared at least one month
ago.
Also a part of a local road in this Mosko vally taken by the slide is
visible
to anyone going there.
So it's a very usual phenomenon in this area, which was associated
unrightfully with the exploding and rolling sounds between the vally sides.

Utglidning, ikke meteoritt
Av  AV INGE BJØRN HANSEN

Det er ikke en meteoritt som har forårsaket raset i fjellsiden i Moskodalen 
i Reisadalen.
Beboere i området bekrefter overfor Framtid i Nord at de har observert 
arret i fjellsiden nesten helt siden den tiden snøen gikk tidligere i vår.

En av dem som bekrefter at det ikke har slått noen meteoritt ned i området, 
i alle fall ikke siste uka, er Håkon Rosengren. Han bor på den gården som 
er nærmest utrasningsstedet i det som folk i dalen kaller "Lillefjellet".

Dette fjellet ligger i utløpet av Moskodalen. Fra gården han ser man rett 
på bruddet i fjellsiden. Også veien raset har tatt er klart synlig.

- Kona og jeg går tur i området nesten hver dag. Det rasområdet som var 
omtalt som nedslagsfelt for sist ukes meteoritt i Nord-Troms er i alle fall 
en måned gammelt, sier Rosengren, og er dermed en av mange som har 
bekreftet dette overfor Framtid i Nord.
