The picture was taken with a camera from Voksenkollen Oslo West, and was taken at 7:00:26 p.m.. Bursts of light was visible for three seconds.

- It was a powerful light, with a wide strip of light behind him. It lasted only a few seconds and it looked like there countries so very far away Tolvsrød.

Several who have been in contact with NRK describes phenomenon in the sky over Vestfold Thursday night.
Lasted 2.7 seconds

Press contact Meteor Network and leader in Norwegian astronomical company, Tor Einar Aslesen, explaining that light vestfoldingene witnessed was a meteorite, and that it probably landed far away Vestfold.

- Flash is about right from the south and lasted 2.7 seconds. The position is not quite sure, but we assume that it landed somewhere over Denmark or Skagerrak where the stop light, says Aslesen.

- Meteorite may have been on a few pounds, but the big move it slows down from providing a beacon and a warming that could bring the whole stone to evaporate or pulverized. But fallout can not be excluded completely. Fragments can land on the ground, but it will probably be difficult to find it, he says.
- Much stronger

Aslesen says that even a small stone could create a violent flash of light in the order of magnitude.

- We compare like with light we see on the horizon, but this is a light that is much stronger and much further afield. Many perceive that it is very close, but this is far away, he assures and adds:

- If there really had been closely'd been blinded and surrounding countryside had been lit up more than it gets sun".
