(meteorobs) A very big meteor event around 17 February?

[Chris Peterson]

The automatic translation is probably so "very rough" because the 
original is in Danish, not Norwegian! <g>

It's mainly a description by a teacher and her daughter, pretty much a 
typical fireball witness report. They thought at first it was a plane 
crashing. Also, a bit about the guy who took the smoke trail image.

The other articles, in English, contain more information.
