Fireball over Norway

2026, March 1. Norway. Fireball. Time: 20:31. Duration: 9 seconds. It was seen as far south as Goslar in Germany to Ålesund on the central west coast of Norway 1200 km apart. Burned up 58 km above ground. It was clearly captured on cameras in Oslo, Larvik, Moss, and Trondheim, allowing scientists to determine its trajectory precisely. It appeared over the Swedish west coast near Lysekil, crossed the Skagerrak, entered over the Norwegian coast between Risør and Tvedestrand, continued over Agder and Bygland, and then burned up completely. This is a second fireball in the region after the February 22nd event over Sweden. It remains to be seen if this activity translates to cetacean strandings after the cluster of fireballs over Denmark, the surrounding waters, and the resulting sperm whale deaths. Without any satellite data in the North Sea or lower Arctic Ocean, there is a large data blind. See posts below.
