Footage shows powerful flashes of light over Norway, followed by what witnesses described as loud bangs on Sunday.
Norwegian police say they received a flurry of emergency calls but there were no reports of injuries or damage.
The Norwegian Meteor Network says Sunday's fireball was visible for at least five seconds after it appeared at about 01:00 local time (23:00 GMT).
Travelling at about 16.3km/s (nearly 36,500mph), the meteor could be seen over large parts of southern Scandinavia, the network says.
Norwegian astronomer Vegard Rekaa has told the BBC his wife was awake at the time. She could hear "shaking in the air" before an explosion she assumed was something heavy falling near the house.
Mr Rekaa woke up, he said, to "fantastic" videos of the meteor, which was "something very seldom seen" in Norway or anywhere in the world.
Initial research suggests the space rock may have hit the ground in a wooded area called Finnemarka, about 60km (40 miles) west of Oslo.

How was the video obtained? was someone standing around waiting for a shooting star?
saw something exactly like that back in the early 2000’s- went out to have a smoke, and just happened ot be looking in right direction and saw it- was really cool-
It’s a conspiracy.
Traffic cams, dash cams, doorbell cams, people like me with security cams everywhere outside.
There are even TV series about the strange things caught on security cameras.

A bumper sticker reported this: “God’s back, and BOY, is He mad!”
1997, in I-64 in Virginia near midnight, I saw a huge fireball, that was reported from North Carolina to New York. A couple of years ago, driving south on I-495, near Littleton, Massachusetts, around 6:00 PM, I saw a light in southern sky that seemed to be approaching, it veered east and brightened, clearly visible in the sky. I never heard any reports about it. I also saw a bright fireball in the eastern sky one morning, again, without any further reports.
They say that on average, a person sees one fireball in his lifetime.
that mighta been the one- i am probably off on the date-
That’s okay, I was off on the date, it was 1987, 1997 was a typo. They are not that rare. Mine, the 1987 apparition, moved from south to north. I was driving east on I-64 between Richmond and Williamsburg, near midnight, when I saw it, passing almost overhead. Very bright.
The kne I saw was South to north too. It was quite late when saw it, smoking my last cigarette for the day
