TV 2 writes about a fireball that was seen in Evanger in Voss municipality.

The meteor had the right speed and angle and shone for a long time. This means that it had everything needed for there to be rock on the ground, says Morten Bilet in the Norwegian Meteor Network.

– It’s absolutely perfect, so you just have to go out and look, says Bilet.

Meteors have been observed in several places in Norway recently, including over Gaustatoppen on Thursday morning.

He gives meteorite hunters this advice:

– They must look for black stones, which are freshly burnt. I don’t think they are big, so if there is snow there, it is not an easy task. But they can fall on roads or on buildings.
