Visibility III / V

Esko Lyytinen, Ursa (Etelä-Suomi)

I didn’t see the fireball, I got to the fireball camera.

The automatic detection had a duration of 2.32 s and the exact start time of the phenomenon was 20.06.31.

There is another known camera observation that confirms that it was southern Tauride.

It is obviously the same as the observation:
