Wow! 3 bolids in 4 minutes from the same (unknown) radiant!
No, there isn't known radiants in this area in this period:
do you are sure that this bolids cannot come from Andromeda
(Bielids) or Taurus (Taurids)? They are slow, especially the Bielids.
It's too strange that at this local time (~4:30am) there are slow
meteors/bolids, in general slow objects are saw in evening.
I hope to can read other reports around the same time (U.T.)
because a new slow radiant it shall be wellcome.
Best greetings.
