A fireball in a twilight sky - 26.10.2015 at 17.40 Turku Observation number 44683

Visibility IV / V

Jaakko Tiekso

I walked the arm of the Kalevantie east / southeast. The fireball flew from behind me to the east / southeast. Although the handsome moon was also rising into the eastern sky, the fireball was very bright and quite large. I haven’t seen anything like this before, but compared to “normal” star flights, it was really a much brighter and bigger light phenomenon.
