Visibility III / V
Esko Lyytinen, Ursa (Helsinki)
I got a fireball camera, I didn’t see myself.
Has been linked to the observation of the Kyyjärvi spring chamber. Came from about 30 degrees with a steepness, just under 10 degrees.
The entry speed was 44 km / s, which means it was fast and burned out.
The flight altitude was about 100 -> 80 km.
The (apparent) radiant in the sky was (RA, Dec) 168, +33, i.e. it was a sporadic meteor.
The camera window was partly in frost (middle area), but the fireball flew in a frost-free spot.
EDIT: It turned out to be apparently a meteor from the IAU working list flock Xi Ursae Majoris (XUM).
To fix, the right loft is the January Xi Ursae Majorids (XUM yes), which is an "established shower."
