A fireball at night, as bright as a full moon - 9.1.2018 at 08.08 Vantaa Observation number 69362

Visibility V / V


I walked to the spot I marked directly to the north:

A bright, greenish fireball fell perpendicularly silently behind the cargo terminal in front of me, estimated to be on or behind Airport Terminal 1 on the runway. Of course, the fireball that lasted about a second could also be behind the runway.
