A bright meteor over the Neeme peninsula
Hele meteoor Neeme poolsaare kohal
In February 1927 Sakala reported that a brilliant meteor had flown over the Neeme peninsula in Jõelähtme parish, east of Tallinn. Witnesses said it was as big as a quarter of the full moon's disc. For a moment the snowy coast lost its usual colours: the paper describes the landscape turning from a soft bluish light into something strange, like a scene from a fairy tale, before the fireball vanished. Neeme is a fishing village at the tip of a low peninsula between Muuga and Ihasalu bays.

1927. aasta veebruaris teatas Sakala, et Jõelähtme vallas Neeme poolsaare kohal lendas üle hele meteoor. Nägijate sõnul oli see suur nagu veerand täiskuu kettast. Hetkeks kaotas talvine rand oma tavalised värvid: leht kirjeldab, kuidas ümbrus muutus pehmest sinakast valgusest kummaliseks nagu muinasjutus, enne kui tulekera kadus. Neeme on kaluriküla madala poolsaare tipus Muuga ja Ihasalu lahe vahel.
