Re: [meteorite-list] Norway Meteorite Impact Site Believed to be Found

It doesn't look anything like a crater. I really doubt this event was anything other than a typical largish fireball. It exploded at high altitude and released a lot of energy, and maybe some meteorites fell. The image appears to show a small rockslide, and there is no reason to connect it with

Hi, All http://www.aftenposten.no/english/local/article1348689.ece Great photo of the impact site. Very scenic. And absolutely NOTHING to provide scale. Is that bleme in the rock 10 feet across or 100 feet across? Well, there are some stunted arctic bushes and part of a tree in the photo. Eye
