A fireball at night, as bright as a cresent moon - 27.11.2021 at 20.12 Oulu, Raksila Observation number 102570

Visibility III / V

Not visible

I walked to the entrance to the illuminated parking lot of the Oaks Raksila supermarket. Above the market was the final flight of a very bright green glowing balloon. The fireball looked a bit like an emergency rocket, albeit green and moving very fast. The fireball appeared to be "close" in the atmosphere and its trajectory appeared to be curved downward. I also saw a bit of smoke and a red glow after the fireball. The fireball faded pretty quickly, but on the other hand disappeared behind the roof of the supermarket, so it might have been visible even longer.
