Hello colleagues,
There is at least one old Finnish observation (and photograph) of this
rare, odd thing. It was seen and photographed during early 1980´s 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 Kühne´s pictures. Its impressive how large collection of this
really special type of rainbow German network has.
Best regards, Marko
