Marco, It is a guess?  an educated hunch?  This event was massive; estimated elevation 40-50,000 ft and approximately in line with the setting Sun at 25-30 degrees above the apparent horizon.  The Sun was obscured by heavy overcast. I thought that I was in Dreamtime as I watched this with my jaws gaping. 
Best Regards to you in Holland! and elsewhere.  Dirk...Tokyo
