Heavenly Help

"We had just been wondering whether the cabin we're building is getting too expensive, and then this falls out of the sky," Bjørn Herigstad said with a laugh.

According to news from Norway in Aftenposten, a meteorite weighing around two kilos landed right in the yard outside Bjørn Herigstad's cabin in coastal Jæren, western Norway, over the weekend.

Herigstad isn't sure what he’ll do with the meteorite, which could be a valuable sales object. A quick check on the Internet revealed prices as high as NOK 700,000 (more than US$100,000).
