I knew it. As a person who lived for some time in British Columbia, these small rockslides are seen on almost every steep rocky slope. Mike Farmer

The location has been know to [many] locals since a month back. Many has turned to the newspaper with this information in the last days. Locals has known the slide since the snow disappeared at least one month ago. Also a part of a local road in this Mosko vally taken by the slide is visible to anyone going there. So it's a very usual phenomenon in this area, which was associated unrightfully with the exploding and rolling sounds between the vally sides. Bjørn Sørheim, In Norway ----------------------------------------------- Full norwegain text: Utglidning, ikke meteoritt Av AV INGE BJØRN HANSEN Det er ikke en meteoritt som har forårsaket raset i fjellsiden i Moskodalen i Reisadalen. Beboere i området bekrefter overfor Framtid i Nord at de har observert arret i fjellsiden nesten helt siden den tiden snøen gikk tidligere i vår. En av dem som bekrefter at det ikke har slått noen meteoritt ned i området, i alle fall ikke siste uka, er Håkon Rosengren. Han bor på den gården som er nærmest utrasningsstedet i det som folk i dalen kaller "Lillefjellet". Dette fjellet ligger i utløpet av Moskodalen. Fra gården han ser man rett på bruddet i fjellsiden. Også veien raset har tatt er klart synlig. - Kona og jeg går tur i området nesten hver dag. Det rasområdet som var omtalt som nedslagsfelt for sist ukes meteoritt i Nord-Troms er i alle fall en måned gammelt, sier Rosengren, og er dermed en av mange som har bekreftet dette overfor Framtid i Nord.
