On the 3rd of July 2017, a meteorite hit a farm in the south east of Norway, about an hour drive from its capital Oslo. Although damage was caused to a number of things at the farm, no one was physically harmed during this miraculous incident. The confusion surrounding the trajectory of the meteorite, entering and leaving the farm house through a window and boring a hole through a woollen sweater amongst other things, led many to believe that the incident was orchestrated.
