Video of event is uploaded to the Meteor Marc youtube channel at https://youtu.be/l3cCU_n1drU and linked to the AMS site. Got a feeling a big one is due soon around here and I'm ready with the camera array to capture it :) Enjoy your fireball..plus there is a bonus Geminid at the end of video that happened less than a minute after the fireball on nearly the same path. Its faint but can be seen if fullscreen. Cant wait for tomorrow night to view the Geminids peak.
