TWO FIREBALLS OR SATELLITE RE-ENTRY? A very bright fireball was observed by Finnish Air Force on January 26, 1996. The observation was made above Sodankyla (+67.26N +26.35E) at 15.40 UTC. The pilot saw a fireball which flied above him, from the North to the South. The phenomenon was little bluish and it took about 30 seconds. The second fireball was observed by Antti Jarvi on January 27 at 05.21 UTC in Espoo (+60.10N +24.7E). The firebal was very fast moving, little greenish in the western sky. It moved from the North to the South (azimuth 264->251, altitude 12-13 degrees). Do you know satellite re-entries or other bright fireball phenomena during that time?
