(meteorobs) video of Mississippi fireball

[Wayne Hally]

The way it's moving around, I kind of doubt it's a fixed surveillance
camera.

This was submitted to my blog this morning:

"Here is a video of surveillance camera that shows a flash at 8:47 pm.
In Louisiana. "

I believe this to be the first (and currently only) direct video sighting of
the fireball.

I have been in contact with the author, but have not yet heard back
regarding the exact location and camera positioning.

There have been a lot of fake pictures so far, so I can't say with
certainty, that this isn't also a fake, but it appears to be authentic. It
seems someone recorded a surveillance monitor with a camera phone and the
timestamps etc look right. the blast also looks right to me, reminds me of
the dugway proving grounds meteor explosion from a while back. Will report
back if I find out anything more about this.
