I happened to moderate the Observer's observations quite late on 11.11. and I drew my attention to the observation of a comet-like revelation in the northern sky. I ignored the matter at first glance in connection with one of the ongoing air war drills. As several observations surprisedly dropped, the instinct began to say that this was now about something else. It was clear that the song had traveled slowly over Finland at a pace that did not correspond to a fireball or an airplane. I immediately researched Kiruna and Plesetsk launch schedules, flight radars, and other standard locations ...

I didn’t pay attention to it right away because I thought it was an airplane. However, airplanes "disappear" from the images much faster and most often leave red-white dots (as in Figure 2, here the rocket line in question is above the cranes).

the phenomenon of light I noticed as I went out to look at the clear starry sky and the moon. Apparently the launcher phase. Appeared from the observation for about 15 min and progressed north. Unfortunately, there was no camera available other than a cell phone. #raketti: Centaur AV-062
