A fireball at night, brighter than a full moon - 22.12.2017 at 20.05 Ylistaro Observation number 69101

Visibility V / V

Not visible

It was like a fireworks, bright as a LED light. As if someone had thrown a starburst (big) from the roof of a house. It was lovely, I was confused because I was in the cemetery, just like a poinsettia had fallen. I was still amazed at what I saw on my way home.
