[meteorite-list] New Norwegian Fall

[Michael Mazur]

There is only one news article so far on the most recent Norwegian fireball.

http://www.oa.no/lokale_nyheter/article2777949.ece

It's in Norwegian but essentially says that a fireball as bright as the sun
and occured at 19:00 over Østlandet (Oslo lies in this area). Knut Jørgen
Røed Ødegaard hopes that it will be possible to find pieces on the ground.
Another fireball was reported the next day at 23:00 over Mjøsa. No mention
of sounds from either one.

After Moss, I would expect that there will be little in the news from the
University of Oslo which, in some ways, is understandable. If the rumours
that I've heard are correct, Norwegian meteorites may soon be state
property. So, this might be the last chance to collect meteorites in Norway
(presuming that material made it to the ground).
