What is probably a meteor was observed over large parts of Norway and southeastern Sweden on Sunday night.

The Norwegian television company NRK has published a video showing the presumed meteor's path towards ground surface.

& ndash; My wife and I heard a loud noise and saw two powerful flashes of light. It is definitely a large meteor that has come in over Eastern Norway. This is a big thing, says Morten Bilet from the Norwegian meteor network to VG on Sunday night.

& ndash; It's a big meteor, and this is rare, he continued.

& ndash; It probably came in from the asteroid belt between March and Jupiter. It may be made of iron or stone, we do not know yet.

Norwegian police write on Twitter that many alarms have been received about light phenomena in the sky and that it is probably a meteor.
