Hi all,

A friend passed on this report to me. He also translated a few details 
for me:

The event  was seen from the village of Sitasjaure, which is close to 
the Norwegian border. A whiteness says that it became like daylight, and 
this part is a little unclear, but it sounds like  they went outside, 
and watched the trail left by the bolide for another 30 minutes. Also, 
according to the article, a professor looking into it thinks it was a 1m 
Taurid.
