Some videocameras of our meteor group captured a bright fireball over N Italy at 22h31m53s UT of 2012 November 19, observed probably from Austria, Switzerland and Slovenia too.

This very bright object suffered a sequence of spectacular flares and finished with an explosion, which lighted all clouds and all landscape.
The image shows a part of fireball until just before it explodes with a dazzling flash.
Our preliminary data showed a very slow velocity and a final hight near 30 km.

Do you know about other observational data?

Hi Enrico,
the meteomedia camera on Mt. Gaebris in Switzerland also captured this fireball. Here is the image and a time lapse video:
