Fireball Alert

A METEORITE burning across the ­Mallee sky last Friday night has spotters talking.
 
Wollongong-based amateur astronomer David Finlay said the “massive” fireball was seen about 11.05pm on January 13.
 
“From Melbourne and Shepparton, this meteor appeared low to the ground to the north-west, but I suspect it may have been very close to the Mildura area,” Mr Finlay said.
 
“It split into several pieces in the end and a team from Monash University and I are trying to track it down.”

Daylight fireball explodes over Norway

An impressive bright flash appeared above central Norway on January 15, 2017, and was observed from both western and eastern Norway. Eyewitnesses are asked to submit their reports.
 
According to the Norwegian Meteor Network, the event occurred around 13:48 UTC and was accompanied by a sonic boom a few minutes later, suggesting that the event was a fireball coming a long way down in the atmosphere before it exploded. 
 
The meteor network operates numerous cameras, but the event was apparently not recorded by any of them. If you saw the event, please submit your report.
 
Received reports so far mention very intense light that dissolved into small fragments before it disappeared. Two of them said the light was blue and well visible.

The reports came from the regional districts Sogn og Fjordane, Møre og Romsdal, Oppland, and Rogaland. The most distant observations are from the city Haugesund in western Norway and Lunner county.
 
According to the International Meteor Organization, the very preliminary analysis tends to indicate that the end of the fireball was located above the Northern parts of Langfjella, the mountain range that longitudinally divides the country, with the highest probability above the Dovre mountain area.
A thin fog was present at the time the fireball appeared, as seen from the Gran video station of the Norwegian Meteor Network. The red circles on images below show the sky where the meteor is meant to have been visible.
