In other words: this was not an Orionid.

We had something similar here in 1994. A fireball that seemed to come from
the Orionid radiant as seen by one of our observers from Leiden. But it was
also captured multistation by two all-sky camera's. The triangulated radiant
proved to be well off from the Orionid radiant, it only happened that for
Leiden the two radiants and the apparant fireball trajectory lined up.
