Correct. Generally, the strongest indication that something fell really
far away is people reporting that it fell at most a few miles away.
If something actually falls within a few miles, this is what you would
experience: The meteor climbs pretty much exactly vertically after been
first seen bef
A meteoroid could possibly travel in the Earth's shadow for several
hours before it reaches the atmosphere, and this could be enough to cool
down its interior if not a particularily large meteoroid. But a core
temperature near 0° C sounds reasonable as a typical value. Earth would
be -18° C witho
Probably the main fragment of the 7 Nov fall.

I think this is the world's first iron meteorite with known oribital
elements.
And the sound of the meteorite, the "projectile sound" (falling pitch)

Hi
We just set up new cameras in Skibotn, Norway and calibrated them last
night. Today at 14:30 local time this happened:

This was a northern Taurid, as bright as the full moon, visible for 7
seconds. Shallow entry angle and it fully disintegrated 60 km above

Some more videos of the fireball off the Swedish west coast:

The full moon is visible in a couple of the videos, which gives an idea
of the brightness.
It was visible for more than 10 seconds.

Another one peaking much, much brighter than the full moon last night:

Old news, but:

A pity it fell over the ocean.

I reprojected each of the 108 exposures moving the radiant to the centre
and stacked them (I also removing noise and aurora, so some faint
meteors were probably lost), and the resulting image is:

Hello,
The Geminids surely didn't fail this year. I've made this composite
image of last night's catch:

Observed from Solobservatoriet, Harestua, Norway.
A couple of geminids reached an altitude of 33 km and could even have

Thank you, and in case anyone is interested I can give some technical
details for the network that we're currently building in Norway.
We do not use allsky cameras, but rather a combination of wide angle
cameras. We currently use four 5 MP IP cameras to cover the entire sky.

Unfortunately, only recorded by one camera (manual inspection has so far
not revealed anything) and the end azimuth likely puts any meteorites in
the sea southwest of Mandal, Norway's southernmost point.

At 23:50:39UTC 2015-08-12 a bright bolide appeared in Scandinavia. Not
a Perseid, but observed by many Perseid observers. It lasted 9 seconds,
bright as the full moon for about 6 seconds and peaked around -14 at 100
km distance.
It fragmented into two groups and faded in a spray. Green and yell
Meteors, or perhaps more frequently space junk, can move over the
horizon for a few minutes, but what gives this away is that the sun has
just set near the "fireball". It's getting dark on the ground, whilst
the contrail is still in the light of the setting sun making it an
impressive sight. The

Without ruling out that this is indeed a meteorite impact, I take the
near miss of asteroid 2014 RC rather as an argument against than for.
Given the news exposure that the asteroid has had, early investigators
might have jumped to conclusions. We should wait for more evidence.
The impact seems t

Well, most recently the two Annama meteorites so far found were located
primarily based on photographic evidence (i.e. "modern fancy equipment")
in pretty difficult and remote terrain, preci
