The most handsome fireball I've ever seen. A mist in the sky happened to hit my eyes when the sky was photographed. Ignited approximately in the ass (estimated from a height of 45ast). Turned off fading after passing the M31 (estimated altitude 60ast). It was a couple ... three times brighter than Venus). Duration about 3 sec.
