| Remarks | We didn't go back to find if there were any remnants, only to make sure that a fire didn't start (very dry conditions). The sky was bright, like daytime and we saw a burning fire ball from the field of vision in our car and it got to within a couple meters of the ground about 10-20 m into the forest beside the road. |
