Roni Järvinen

We saw an oblong in the sky. The flying object was approaching from the sector between Redi's towers and Paavali's church, it flew directly over us and went in the direction of Kumpula's swimming pool, targeting two junks, the smaller one followed the larger one. The sight was breathtaking, I thought it was intercontinental at first
