Hunt begins for fragments near Oslo after sightings of large space rock hurtling across night sky

An “unusually large meteor” briefly lit up southernon Sunday, creating a spectacular sound and light display as it rumbled across the sky, and a part of it may have hit Earth, possibly not far from the capital, Oslo, experts said.

A web camera in Holmestrand, south of Oslo, captured a fireball falling from the sky and erupting into a bright flash that lit up a marina. By Sunday afternoon, no debris had been found, and given the “demanding” location, the search for possible meteorites could take “some 10 years”, Bilet said. Some eyewitnesses also said they felt a stronger wind blow due to the meteor causing a pressure wave, Bilet said.“What we had last night was a large rock travelling likely from between Mars and Jupiter, which is our asteroid belt. And when that whizzes in, it creates a rumble, light, and great excitement among us [experts] and maybe some fear among others,” Bilet said.
