The video uploaded on YouTube is cropped in order to zoom in to see the fireball from afar, but we also have the original video without the cropping and with background noise. But there was music playing outside from our neighbors.

The fireball was a little brighter, probably like a second before we recorded but in the video the fireball began to fade a bit.
