Hi, According to Mr. Kari Kaila from Oulu University a mysterious widening cloud was observed in Northern Finland. The observation was made on March 26 at 20.58 UTC (23.58 local) in Utajarvi (near Oulu). Kari saw a widening cloud of 2 - 3 degrees diameter. It was rather bright and the location was at azimuth 140 degrees and height 72 degrees. The object was moving to the North. The speed was about 50 degrees per minute and the diameter was about 5 - 6 degrees near Cassiopeia constellation. The moving direction was about 30 degrees (azimuth). Another observer Veijo Kallio saw also that same phenomenon near Oulu. He noted also a bright satellite which moved near the observed cloud. According to these observations it seems that the phenomenon might be caused by a satellite in orbit? Any ideas about which satellite or rocket was caused this cloud?
