Dear Walt,

I wasnŽt myself there. I was waked up today by a call from Finnish television station 4. The absolutely absurd thing about it was that they cited to me what "halo researchers" had told about the display (distorted things of what I had myself told yesterday to one reporter) and wishing for video tape and interview. And actually the whole thing had started yesterday when I was contacted by a small local newspaper of eastern Finland. its professional photographers had taken this display above rarely open waters of Savonlinna city island. We ve had an exceptionally mild winter and at large stream places like Savonlinna the waters are largely still open, have not frozen.

The idiotic part of the thing is that we are now dealing with photo press professionals who smell money and copyright stuff (great attitude). I got to view a digital picture taken by a wideangle lense (the whole 22 area and more, but not the 44 area!!) of a supermega bright pair of sundogs; gorcieusly mindblowing bright (either about the same or almost same as Saskatoon brightness); full 22 halo much fainter, complete above horizon, parts faintly visible against ground too. Slight upper 22 tangent arc. And definite NO to circulate the picture nor use it anyhow until time being; they asked to contact again today after they have published it themselves. (They also made contact to STT which is Finnish general press notice office, which lead to national circulation announcement about the display; hence TV got interested)

I telephoned them yesterday several times; two times just to try to reach both photographers and ask them not to destroy a single digital photo file of it; especially if it covers areas of sky other than the brightest parts. Sofar it seems they took mainly shots of sundog area only except one picture should be vertical with same wide angle; hence circumzenithal area as well. They promised to send that picture but changed mind and didnt send anything any more.

Marko
