The fireball flew quite low and was quite big. The flight was visible very bright and clear for a couple of seconds, after which it disappeared. You can't tell from the traffic noise whether there was sound or not.

Kyllä näkyi erittäin kirkkaana tämä tulipallo Orimattilassakin. Luulimme hetken jopa ilotulitteeksi kun olimme juuri ajamassa keskustan läpi. Samalla tavalla sammui nopeasti nimittäin. Vaikuttava näky jälleen.
