Subject: Seeking info on large Norwegian fireball May 5th

I recently heard some (unconfirmed) information that a bright meteor
fragmented and exploded above northern Norway on May 5th. A loud
boom was heard over a large area. The boom got some houses to shake
and triggered avalanches in nearby mountains - again, this is
unconfirmed.

Has anyone got USAF information that can be related to such an
event? I believe the coordinates are about 70 N, 15 E. No, I don't
have the time of day yet.

All the best,
Trond
