Hi,

    Google has a beta of a new Google service:
Video Search at http://www.video.google.com/
Searches for "bolide" and "fireball" produced
nothing of interest (assuming you don't care for
clips of things that "blow up good"!), but a search
for "meteor" produced several clips that actually
were of meteors (out of a lot of junk):

    Disappointingly, all the videos are in a proprietary
Google format; the downloadable player is a cobble
of Macromedia Flash (useless); and I haven't found
any sure way to get to the original source of the clips...

    But you can watch them, at least.
