Thomas,

The constellations are a bit difficult to make out but I assume the bright 
object near the meridian is Jupiter. If that is true then a Monocerotid is a 
possibility. I was thinking that it may be a Sigma Hydrid but the source of 
the fireball seems to bit too far west for that.

Here is a nice flashing fireball that lit up most of the sky. Flashes as
bright as the full Moon.  Possibly a Monocerotid (?) but not sure with a
single camera view. Maybe more views will turn up.

I only included the initial radio reflection in the video link below but
after a short time gap the radio reflection ascended again and lasted
more than a minute.
