A fireball at night, brighter than a full moon

With a little delay comes, we also share my own observation. It would have been handsome to see this fireball with the naked eye (even), now it was up to the camera to grab the flight. The video shows several bright flashes in the sky during the final flight, which is likely to have detached pieces from the song. There is no sound perception, at that moment I was indoors. Waiting for the next bright fireball :-)

The fireball was clearly in the image of the Härkämäki Observatory's sky camera, even though the sky was cloudy throughout. Only the brightest stars were faintly visible in the sky. The fireball began to appear about 30 degrees above the horizon and brightened very strongly right on the horizon.

Juuso Nurmio, Ursa (Länsi-Suomi)

An image of a celestial camera apparently from this widely seen fireball. EDIT: Added another picture earlier in the day where you can see that the time on the low horizon has gone and disappeared behind the trees. It hasn't been clear at all or the dome has been foggy.
