I also thought about this idea, and Sirko Molau mentioned this as well.
To my opinion, one would expect that the measuring site should be very
close if the event was situated so close to the zenith. Furthermore, if
it were a release **for optical measurements**, why was it done under
cloudy conditions? (If, on the other hand, other measurements were carried
out, this argument is of no interest.)
Greetings,
Juergen
