A fireball at night, as bright as a full moon - 18.3.2022 at 03.08 Jyväskylä Observation number 105322

Visibility III / V

Based on other observations made about this fire (Tampere and Hartola), I thought that there would have been an observation on the balcony through the glass facing the camera to the south / southwest - as it were. A fireball bright enough to show even if the full moon was mowing in the same direction.
