Hello colleagues,
There is at least one old Finnish observation (and photograph) of this
rare, odd thing. It was seen and photographed during early 1980Žs in
Kuopio by Petteri Heikkinen (He is no longer in atmospheric optics and
the picture might even be lost). What I remember of his color print
picture it looked startlingly similar than particularly
Benjamin KühneŽs pictures. Its impressive how large collection of this
really special type of rainbow German network has.
Best regards, Marko
