Hello list!



Apparently, two large bolides have entered the atmosphere over Scandinavia
and Barents Sea in a matter of two days in mid January!



According to a recent newsletter from the Swedish Institute of Space Physics
(IRF), an even larger event took place January 15, over Barents Sea, in an
area between Spitz Bergen and Norway.



Rick McGregor at IRF, would like to suggest a connection between the two
fireballs and the Delta Cancrid- meteor trail. See:

Below you can find some information regarding the Swedish -Finnish network
of Infra Sound Detectors IRF uses to track incoming meteors and re-entering
rockets over Northern Scandinavia.
