So guys, apparently I saw a meteor earlier tonight. I had just departed from Harstad and came around a bend and saw a bright light almost looked like it was burning falling from the sky and then a bright flash as it disappeared behind the mountains. At first I thought the worst and that it was an aircraft that went done as the approach towards the nearby airport goes in that area, later read on the news that it was a meteor that lit up large parts of northern Scandinavia as it passed us.
Quite dark in the area but it lit up so much that even my dash cam was able to catch some of it even tho it was so far away. (and dash cams doesn't really see far at all in darkness) If you look closely up on the left hand side you'll see how something falls from the sky only to light up a lot before disappearing, I thought it was quite cool and you can try to imagine how much it really lit up when even the dash cam was able to capture it.
You can find some more clips of it here in this Norwegian news article: https://www.nordlys.no/astronomi/finland/naturfenomen/se-video-her-gjor-ildkulen-natt-om-til-dag/s/5-34-736885
