A fireball at night, brigter than the venus - 7.11.2017 at 00.21 Helsinki 72 Observation number 68076

Visibility III / V

Esko Lyytinen, Ursa (Etelä-Suomi)

Fireball camera observation, I did not see.

The duration in the automatic detection was 2.64 s and the exact start time was 00:20:34.

Came pretty much towards, which is why the trail in the sky is rather short considering the duration. It was obviously really slow side but apparently went off pretty high and probably burned out.
