Individual frame comparisons of this video characterize this bolide as
nearly(if not the same) as most Bolides would be if the approaching vertical
intensity and light diameters were compared over time on a horizontal time
graph. Characterization is similar to a Bolide and not at all like a cone
shaped light source would be from landing light or a flood/spot light from a
helicopter, in addition to the illegal elevation the helicopter would have
to be to illuminate the entire cloud structure in a 360 degree field of view
at 15 degrees elevation. Landing lights of commercial aircraft are 
completely different as is the light cone and displacement over time.

The similarities are coincident to a Bolide as viewed, (rarely if ever)
from a position in the direct path of an descenting fireball.

Common imaging of a fireball approaching is not rare. Of a Bolide in direct
line with an observer would be unlike anything observed or filmed before. I
believe this is a UNIQUE captue of a rare event as a movie. URL is a 1/3
slowed down version of original HandyAvi recording without any photo
massaging.
