Default New meteorite fall discovered in Oslo city - over a pound in weight

A new chondritic brecciated meteorite was found in the
eastern part of Oslo on Sunday March 11.
It had gone through the roof of a small cabin on the
Rodeløkka allotment gardens.
It is uncertain when it fell, as the cabin was first checked
out for the season on Sunday.
But many thinks it fell in the evening of March 1st as a large
fireball fragmented over this part of Norway at the time.
The weight is 585g and it broke in two parts as it
went through the roof.
This was major news in Norway yesterday.
