(meteorobs) Fireball Spotted Over Norway?

Dear Robert and All,

According to Russian mass-media, the Estonian fall took place on the morning
of Nov.20. Also Mikhel Iarevere(? spelling) - member of the Tartu
Astronomical Observatory is mentioned.
Regarding the Norwegian event, I think that it would be nice if somebody
from Norway or near-by countries could investigate it.

Best wishes,
Andrei Ol'khovatov
