Update:

Here is the all-sky capture with radio scatter.  Luckily clouds were 
thin enough at the time to get nine seconds of visibility. But I did not 
get the terminal point of flight.

Radio-wise, as is often the case, the largest fireballs can make the 
least intense forward scatter reflections.

It looks like there are accumulating reports of this fireball at the AMS 
site:
