A chunk of rock from outer space collapsed in Norway.
The meteorite could have weighed between 0.5 and 2 kilograms and hit Earth at a speed of more than 50,000 kilometers, the Norsar Seismological Research Institute said.

The celestial object fell to Earth on the night of January 5 near a measuring station near Loten, 120 kilometers north of Oslo. Many in the area heard a loud explosion and saw a flash of bright light.
The impact was seen not far from an area where a severe landslide had occurred a few days earlier, leading many to fear that another slope had collapsed.
The Norwegian meteorite tracking network considers it unlikely that a meteorite will be found in a forested and snowy field. Norsar director Anne Lycke also said it would take a lot of luck to find it, writes MTI.
