Details:
An amazing experience during Aurora Borealis observation nr. 11 in Salla-Kallunki! A sunny day was followed by a cold night with -2'C. Over the relatively warm lake waters was created a misty damp. All was very peaceful until 23:43h. Finnish time: Suddenly a very bright meteor/fireball felt down through the Auroras. The head was changing rapidly several colors (red, blue, purple, green)and leaving a very bright white tail behind. Happily I was installed with the camera in the right direction for a time lapse video serie of the auroras.
Camera: Sony a77ii with Samyang 10mm lens. Settings: 3,2sec. - f2.8 - ISO 2500.
As the meteor/fireball is visible at 3 pictures the total appearance time has been probably around 7 seconds!
Of course there is much more to see on the pictures than what was seen during these unexpected and exciting seconds of the impact. Look what is happening around the meteor/fireball: are the auroras taken out of their basic structure, or caused this meteor/fireball its own aurora???
A wonderful experience in the middle of the night, In the Middle of Nowhere, called Salla!
