The Watec 910HX, which was in test use, grabbed this from the eastern sky. Checked in the video, the duration was 1.2s. Extinguished quickly, flashing in the eastern sky at an estimated altitude of 30 degrees. I headed towards the 5 o'clock direction.

With a little delay comes, we also share my own observation. It would have been handsome to see this fireball with the naked eye (even), now it was up to the camera to grab the flight. The video shows several bright flashes in the sky during the final flight, which is likely to have detached pieces from the song. There is no sound perception, at that moment I was indoors. Waiting for the next bright fireball :-)
