A fireball at night, brighter than a full moon - 31.3.2023 at 21.25 Varkaus, Haijanvirta Observation number 113970

Visibility III / V

Not visible

The flying phenomenon was large and very bright, there wasn't a "typical" flash of light behind it, but the phenomenon was drop-like and a really big "burning" looking bright drop of fire that flew diagonally straight down and disappeared behind the trees? Over the lake.
