This appears to be definitely the same fireball as seen from Holland last night 
indeed.

Most reports here are from the north of the country (closest to the fireball), 
but amazingly Klaas Jobse's all sky camera in Zeeland in the southeast of the 
Netherlands (so several hundreds of km distant from the likely location of the 
fireball!) captured it very low above the horizon:

Dutch reports mention a few seconds duration, greenish colours and fragmentation 
and a brightness of at least -8 if not more. time: 19:10 UTC = 20:10 CET.
