I knew it. As a person who lived for some time in British Columbia, these
small rockslides are seen on almost every steep rocky slope.

In this article(norwegian)
http://www.framtidinord.no/nyheter/article45150.ece
it says in the heading (translated):

** A [rock] slide no meteorite. **

(This story is also on the front page of www.framtidinord.no at the moment).

The location has been know to [many] locals since a month back.
Many has turned to the newspaper with this information in the last days.
Locals has known the slide since the snow disappeared at least one month
ago.
Also a part of a local road in this Mosko vally taken by the slide is
visible
to anyone going there.
So it's a very usual phenomenon in this area, which was associated
unrightfully with the exploding and rolling sounds between the vally sides.

Utglidning, ikke meteoritt
Av AV INGE BJ?RN HANSEN

Det er ikke en meteoritt som har for?rsaket raset i fjellsiden i Moskodalen
i Reisadalen.
Beboere i omr?det bekrefter overfor Framtid i Nord at de har observert
arret i fjellsiden nesten helt siden den tiden sn?en gikk tidligere i v?r.

En av dem som bekrefter at det ikke har sl?tt noen meteoritt ned i omr?det,
i alle fall ikke siste uka, er H?kon Rosengren. Han bor p? den g?rden som
er n?rmest utrasningsstedet i det som folk i dalen kaller "Lillefjellet".

Dette fjellet ligger i utl?pet av Moskodalen. Fra g?rden han ser man rett
p? bruddet i fjellsiden. Ogs? veien raset har tatt er klart synlig.

- Kona og jeg g?r tur i omr?det nesten hver dag. Det rasomr?det som var
omtalt som nedslagsfelt for sist ukes meteoritt i Nord-Troms er i alle fall
en m?ned gammelt, sier Rosengren, og er dermed en av mange som har
bekreftet dette overfor Framtid i Nord.
