A fireball at night, brigter than the venus - 23.3.2017 at 21.24 Tampere Observation number 62210

Visibility III / V

Tapio Lahtinen, Tampereen Ursa

So in the evening already from Taivaanvahti that there had been a few fireball sightings and one from Sastamala on the basis of which I thought that the fireball could have remained in the picture of the work camera.
And in the morning when I checked I found out that this had happened.
Quite short looks at this angle.

When the seed of doubt was sown, it had to be checked that there could also be a flash of the Cosmos 1140 satellite.
