Ook in Finland is er een felle meteoor gezien
Ondanks dat we deze week in een meteorenregen zitten, ging het hier om een "sporadic".

Very bright fireball explodes over northern Finland, sonic boom reported

A very bright fireball exploded over Lapland, northern Finland at 16:40 UTC (18:40 EET) on November 16, 2017. The event lasted between 5 and 10 seconds and was seen across northern Finland, especially Nellim, Solojärvi and Ivalo, and from northern Norway. This is 5th major fireball event within 48 hours, possibly 7th.
According to local media reports, a sonic boom was associated with today's event. "There was a loud noise after the lights went out and the houses shook," fireman Mauri Saniola Inari said, adding that the event was initially described as an aviation accident.
"The sound and light observations came from such a wide area that the location can't be determined," Inari said
The American Meteor Society (AMS) and International Meteor Organization (IMO) have so far received just 2 witness reports.
If you witnessed this event, fill out this form. Your report is important, it alerts international community of scientists to potentially scientifically significant events that occur, and contributes to the general database of knowledge about meteors.

Every night, a network of NASA all-sky cameras scans the skies above the United States for meteoritic fireballs. Automated software maintained by NASA's Meteoroid Environment Office calculates their orbits, velocity, penetration depth in Earth's atmosphere and many other characteristics. Daily results are presented here on Spaceweather.com.
On Nov. 16, 2017, the network reported 40 fireballs.
(23 sporadics, 11 Leonids, 4 Northern Taurids, 1 omicron Eridanid, 1 alpha Monocerotid)
In this diagram of the inner solar system, all of the fireball orbits intersect at a single point--Earth. The orbits are color-coded by velocity, from slow (red) to fast (blue).
