Hallo,
es gab eine ziemlich helle Feuerkugel am 22.11. gegen 00:30 MEZ im Raum Brandenburg. Leider war es in Vechta und auch an den anderen Kamerastandorten bedeckt. Hier gibt es einige Beobachtungsberichte:

This was caught by the cameras in Copenhagen and Brorfelde.
Here is the picture from Copenhagen:

Start Az=165 Alt=14 deg
End Az=164 Alt=11 deg
This camera has recently been placed so that most of the sky can be viewed in one shot.

Video from Copenhagen

The clock of the camera is fast by a couple of seconds.

Dear Anton,
thank you for the video. It looks quite promising, but so far there are no reports of thunder noise.

Would be interesting to find out where the fireball ended.

Maybe the Polish network has a video, too?

I have plotted the path of the Copenhagen camera view and positions of three eyewitness reports on a map:

Eyewitness 1 saw the meteor in about 65-70° altitude in eastern direction and reported the landscape was nearly bright as daylight.

Eyewitness 2 reported a landscape bright as daylight, too (white light).

Eyewitness 3 reported a very bright green-blue light for about 2-3s, stopped his car and then saw the meteor afterglow.

From Brorfelde (55.625N 11.663W), the azimuth angles are:
Start 155 deg, End 154 deg.
This places the fireball close to Berlin, but due to the short baseline and long distance, the north-south intersection is quite uncertain.

Only a strong flash on the sky was registered by PFN stations.. Weather wasn't good this night
