I had just managed to set up the camera for shooting the northern lights, and suddenly I noticed such balls of light lighting up one by one in the sky. They glowed red for a while and then turned blue. I wasn't at all aware of what phenomenon it was - and the thought took off. However, I decided to photograph them as much as possible. Later it turned out that there was no danger, but that they were rockets launched from Kiruna. It was a barium cloud experiment. For a long time, the blue glow lingered in the sky, and next to them came violet rays, like aurora borealis. An interesting phenomenon.
