Visibility III / V

Markku Siljama, Ursa (Etelä-Suomi)

I was waiting for the northern lights on a dark beach when suddenly the landscape flashed clearly for just over a second. The flash was multicolored.

Another waiting for the northern lights nearby was looking at the sky and he saw a fireball. According to him, it was visible directly above the clouds in the constellation of the Little Bear.

This was the second time I saw a fireball illuminating the landscape.

Weather - 6 degrees, calm and cloudy 4/8.
