Visibility II / V
Fri morning at 00:29, in the cloudy sky I noticed a golden yellow bright light as if scattered behind the clouds, which remained in place: Shape like an elongated stretched heart drawn with a brush. Far too big for the comets I’ve seen in my life, ridiculously small and lonely as a northern lights. And I haven’t seen the golden northern lights. But it changed a little like Northern Lights and dimmed for half an hour what I periodically watched. Within half an hour, the clouds left the circular area, and this light was still visible even without the clouds, i.e., there was no reflection in the clouds from somewhere. When the stars appeared, the phenomenon was located slightly downward from the line of the last two stars in the tail of the Otava constellation, at a slightly longer distance from the last star than the distance between the last two stars.
I tried to take that picture with a lousy old cell phone, failed.
