Just one final video, this one clearly showing a ground-based light source:

I agree. That's why I wrote about 'skyflash' and not a 'meteor'.
Anyway it is still interesting as there are no reports about possible origin
of such tremendous flash.
UPDATE: Just checked the news again and there are suggections from regional
authorities of a possible old ammunition destruction...It looks like a
plausible explanation.
