Hum,
looked real to me...

The image resembles clouds under similar lighting that I have seen before. The second image with the redder lighting betrays the nature of the changing light on the uneven contrail as sunset proceeds. There is a New Zealand video which began shorly after a massive airburst, showing as I recall a dense trail, a weak mushroom like cloud vortex rising from its lower end, below which falls vertically considerable debris. Theis tap contains the first known audio recording od a double boon from a fireball.



I took a picture that looks like a meteor blazing above the clouds, but it was an uneven contrail, and I removed in Photoshop a few shreds on one side just for laughs. it is at the top of this page:

Yes and its so typical anything coming from USA i can only sigh in despair.

The geology.com map lists 2 craters in Finland and one in Sweden but this one Mien in Sweden is not the most well known, at 9km its not the largest, or even the most recerntly discovered one. Here are 5 other ones.

Place Diameter Comment

Siljan 52 km Largest known. Obvious when seen from a hill or viewtower, best view in the northeast.
Dellen 19 km Not easy to see the crater shape from the ground, some advocate its one ancient caldera.
Lockne 7.5 km Good view and quite obvious crater from the western craterwall were road 45 runs.
Granby 3 km
Tvären 2 km

Hmmm that story about the impact in Norway has disappeared from spaceweather.com, I guess it was a hoax.

The report is still there, but it's on the page entry for 9 June.

No hoax, you can see the graphs for the soundboom (top) and impact (bottom) on he graph of this page that happened 02.13.25 in the morning.

In addition the impact site have been found on a mountain wall in Reisadalen. The force of the impact was vastly exaggerated in the early reports, the meteorite was in fact a rather small one. But we're still somewhat uncertain if it did break up in midair, that cannot be ruled out yet.

Norwegian only page here.

There is already a thread devoted to the Norwegian meteorite here:

A BBC Horizon programme puts forward a very persuading case that the Kebir crater was not the origin of the desert glass, rather it was formed by an airburst of a much smaller 100 metre sized asteroid.

The airburst generated temperatures similar to the sun, and blew a huge plume of gas out into space. The glass wasn't from a crater or it's ejecta, if a crater is formed at all , but from the fireball that blasted huge areas of the surface.

The program also touched upon the formation of Australites and Indochinites - no crater needed - just a loose rubble pile of an asteroid that air blasted south east Asia. The early humans and species like Gigantopithecus blackii would have been incinerated.
