HELSINKI (AP) — Norwegian experts say an unusually large meteor was visible over large parts of southern Scandinavia and illuminated southeast Norway with a powerful flash of light for a few seconds as many observers were reported to also hear a roaring sound afterwards. The Norwegian Meteor Network said that it had analyzed and reviewed several videos of the event Sunday. It said the meteor first appeared about 90 kilometers (55 miles) north of Oslo and continued its trail in a southwest direction before fragmenting in several flashes of light. Sightings of meteors aren’t uncommon over Norway and the Norwegian Meteor Network has a number of cameras continuously monitoring the sky.
