Visibility IV / V

Kirsi Evilä

I was driving by car from the direction of Pirkkala and I was just turning after the Rajasalmi bridge in the direction of Nokia when I saw a bright green light ball in the sky above the trees. It was as if a green traffic light had flown down in a gentle arc from the sky to the ground.
