Scientists believe the ultra-fast object landed in a densely-forested area near the capital, Oslo. It could take up to ten years to find.

I'm confused by the term "Flashing". Such an effect is different than that reported for similar meteors recently passing over Texas in the U.S. Is that effect an artifact of the Norway meteor's breaking up? Or is that term just descriptive of a ground/camera view?
