Timo Kuhmonen, Ursa (Etelä-Suomi)

When going on Christmas holiday, a bright fireball meets the car window, the flight was partly behind the trees lining the road. The time is recorded on the radio screen of the rental car, so may not be absolutely accurate. In the sky, the location of the fireball is estimated to be roughly the intermediate terrain of the constellation of Swan and Lyyra, through which the fireball flew bright down to the left.
