A meteor is a piece of rock that burns very quickly and glows strongly when it enters the atmosphere. Meteorite are called the pieces of meteor that have not burned up and are recovered on Earth.

According to the Norwegian Meteor Network, the meteor’s fireball could be seen for five seconds after entering at around 1am local time. The network estimates that the meteor when it entered was traveling at a speed of 16.3 kilometers per second, which is 58,680 kilometers per hour.

Norwegian astronomer Vegard Rekaa told the British BBC that his wife – who was awake at the time – could hear something shaking just before an explosion that she believed must have been caused by something heavy falling near their house.

Rekaa has since seen “fantastic videos” of the meteor, something rarely captured in Norway or other parts of the world. Early indications say the meteor came down in a wooded area called Finnemarka, about 60 kilometers west of Oslo.

A group of campers there reported a “great explosion right above their heads.” Analysis of the images leads experts to suspect that the meteor weighed at least ten kilograms. That in itself is not great, but what is exceptional is that it has been seen and heard by so many people.

In 2013, a similar situation arose when a meteor hit the Ural Mountains in Russia, causing extensive damage.
