The brightness observed with the side eye while driving and looking at the ball went out. The ball was inside the cloud curtain and therefore not exactly bounded, but the direction stood out. The area the size of a hump cloud turned white and went out. Viewed from the observation site, the ball flew about 5-10 degrees west of the Eurajoki TV mast and about the north of the mast
