The video consists of a shot of the Krkonose Mountains, followed by a bright flash and the emergenc eof a large mushroom top cloud in the distance. The group were acquitted and let go without punishment with a court in Trutnov stating that it was not a criminal offence. According to Czech news station CT24, although Czech television said it was "...inadvisable and could have provoked panic among a wide group of people".
