Visibility III / V

Oili Törmänen

Our house is on the shore of Lake Kuusamo, living room on the lake side.

I was sitting in the living room as a burning object flew east-west

between the house and the lake and seemed to fall to the beach or lake a few tens of meters away. It also looked out of the window that from time to time someone was burning in the snow, like a small roar, but we suspected it was a reflection of the candles we had burned inside.

After a while we went to look at the beach but found nothing.
