A fireball in a twilight sky - 9.1.2018 at 08.10 Pori Observation number 69360

Visibility IV / V

Hannu Vuolukka

The light phenomenon looked colorful like a firework rocket. But the direction was almost straight down and the pace was fast. 1-2 seconds duration. I happened to look at the car lights on a nearby road when I was outside with tobacco. I’m 100% sure some song dived burning into the atmosphere.
