A fireball at night, brighter than the venus - 14.4.2023 at 23.21 Jyväskylä Observation number 115261

Visibility III / V

Vesa Vasankari, Ursa (Länsi-Suomi)

With the help of the accurate observation data of Ulvila's namesake, I found this south direction on my camera, which had not noted this in its motion detection. Lights up at the last second of 23:21. In addition to the easily recognizable flagpole, other vertical lines in the picture are the gaps in the balcony glass.
