A fireball at night, as bright as a crescent moon - 30.3.2023 at 23.21 Turku Observation number 113946

Visibility III / V

Juha Ketola

A greenish-yellow, irregular-looking fireball was visible for about a second in a northwesterly direction, moving from right to lower left. I had only gone to observe the northern lights as soon as possible, and thus I was not equipped with binoculars or even a camera to record the observations. Therefore, the information provided here is unfortunately only indicative.
