A fireball at night, brigter than the venus - 22.12.2017 at 20.06 Ylöjärvi Observation number 69075

Visibility III / V

Not visible

The direction of flight would be towards the lower left corner of the image, the form cannot be completed.

The greenish, green-tailed ball flew diagonally down. At the back of the ball some kind of opening followed by a separate green tail.

I watched the ball as I sat in the car with my nose to the north so the ball was visible to the right at an angle and fell "into the woods" so it was visible "between the trees" up to the lowest third of the forest. Free view approx. 200 m.
