A fireball at night, brighter than the venus - 5.12.2021 at 18.00 Helsinki Observation number 102895

Visibility III / V

Not visible

I noticed a light falling straight down from the window of an airplane / helicopter (direction W-WSW), first thinking of it as fireworks. However, it landed slowly like an emergency rocket, but was greenish in color. The light disappeared behind the tops of the trees.
