Record meteorite hit Norway; impact comparable to the atomic bomb used on Hiroshima

Record meteorite

At around 2:05 a.m. on Wednesday, residents of the northern part of Troms and the western areas of Finnmark could clearly see a ball of fire taking several seconds to travel across the sky.

A few minutes later an impact could be heard and geophysics and seismology research foundation NORSAR registered a powerful sound and seismic disturbances at 02:13.25 a.m. at their station in Karasjok.

The media here in the United States should cover stuff like that. I get most of my information from the History or Discovery Channel of events that have happend that no one talks about. Like with the death of that Al Zaqwi guy or how ever you spell it. I learned about it on here 30 minutes before it was covered on National tv. Most of the time I have to go online to find stuff out, very interesting stuff.
