A fireball at night, brighter than a full moon - 20.2.2020 at 18.20 Ikaalinen Observation number 88489

Visibility V / V

Not visible

We saw a ball of light flying in the sky. It was a bright ball left behind. The ball went out after about 5 seconds. The children asked what that is? Personally, I said it seemed like a fireworks display with no sound and no end of the explosion. As an alternative, I presented a light rocket, but the duration was too short. My wife thought it was a really bright starburst.
