A fireball at night, as bright as a cresent moon, Helsinki, Pukinmäki

There already seem to be several visual observations of this.

I didn’t see the fireball, but I got to the fireball camera. The exact time was 18.23.30 and the duration was 1.4 s.

The planes have made their own distracting footprints, but now did not directly distract this.

I also attach a BTrail map image showing the route in the starry sky and the "rear extension" of the route with a color-coded rough speed estimate, assuming that the radiant is at that point.

There may be a 525 meteor (?) On the IAU working list. The working list is therefore a list whose flocks are not considered secured. I estimate it was absolutely (if it were at a distance of 100 km) around mag-10 at its brightest flash. that is, about the order of the crescent.

EDIT: And here's a link to IAU information about the flock.
