Meteor parts crash near Oslo, create massive sound and light show, shock people

In what has come as a shock and totally out of the blue, people in Scandinavin country of Norway watched in awe as a spectacular show was created when a part of a meteor hit the country even as the rest flew past and into space. It virtually turned the night sky into day for the time it lasted. It created a massive light and sound show making people scramble to make sense of it. Scientists revealed that the location of the part that has crashed into Earth may be near the capital Oslo. "This was crazy," the Norwegian Meteor network's Morten Bilet, who saw and heard the meteor, told Reuters and added that for those nearest, it was a "spooky" event.

Meteor sparks bright light across the sky: The proof of the meteor was soon strewn all over social media as shocked people recorded the event and shared the same with their loved ones. A video showed at least one bright flash lighting up a marina at Holmestrand, south of Oslo. However, there was no information about how the meteor had suddenly appeared. The network is still analysing the video footage and other data.

Norway meteor speed: The Norway meteor travelled at a humongous speed of 15-20 km per second and lit up the night sky. The event lasted as long as five to six seconds, Bilet revealed.

Meteor origin: "What we had last night was a large rock travelling likely from between Mars and Jupiter, which is our asteroid belt. And when that whizzes in, it creates a rumble, light and great excitement among us (experts) and maybe some fear among others," Bilet said.

Russian meteor: This meteor quickly reminded everyone of another one that had struck not so long ago in neighbouring Russia. In 2013 a meteorite had exploded over Chelyabinsk region in Russia, flattering everything around it. Fortunately, it had hit an area that was sparsely populated.
