Visibility III / V

The countryside called the Milky Way, I got a fireball.

While photographing the Milky Way, a small peppery fireball grabbed the cell again, leaving behind an old upper atmosphere to be ravaged by the winds. The interval between the fireball box and the last picture of the timelapse is four minutes and 31 seconds, probably the old one was visible even longer.
