Visibility Unclassified

Fireballs and northern lights have been a rare sight to watch lately. Looking for the Northern Lights afterwards in the video image, my attention was drawn to the bright flash, which according to Sky Safari was Iridium 26. Compared to what I saw earlier, this was a short flash. Heavens-above did not recognize this flash, but suggested a minute later the Cosmos 1943 rocket scrap that had gone from the same points, which had just barely stood out.
