Tämä oli todellakin eri tulipallo kuin tuo toinen 23 minuttia myöhemmin näkynyt, josta enemmän havaintoja. Tämä tai molemmatkin näkyivät Helsingin Pukinmäen kamerassani.

Joo, näin tuon myöhemmän tulipallon visuaalisesti Kirkkonummelta käsin kun olin reposvahdissa. Panu Lahtinen laittoikin siitä jo havainnon.
