A gigantic fire caused excitement on Tuesday evening in Vorarlberg and Tyrol, but also in Switzerland and parts of Germany.

Anyone who looked up outside yesterday at around 9:30 p.m. may have seen this event with their own eyes: a kind of fireball with a bright tail moved across the dark night sky and was visible over many parts of the country. Helmut Windhager from the Vega Observatory explains.
