Dear Veikko,
Thank you for your answer. Till know I did not find additional information
about this event. During the next days I´ll try to make a drawing of the
second loop (third image) -

It is much smaller than the left one and it´s obvious that it could be
more
faraway. It´s a pity that no one else got images of the trail to know the
real 3D structure of it.
Best regards,
Karl
PS: Yesterday evening we have got a nice NLC-display here in Austria the
second or third time this year (images will proof the third or not).
