There's some other interesting pics, too!

Hi All,

Some of you may have already seen this, but if not you should check
it out:

This was an impressive bolide recorded by Jarmo Moilanen in Finland
on March 26th at 19:02 UT -- a good time of day for meteorite survival
chances. Note how slowly the bolide is moving, and how long it remains
quite bright. This certainly has all the hallmarks of a meteorite-
producing event.

I've tried to confirm the direction the camera was pointing based
on the half dozen "stars" visible in the scene. Unfortunately, I can
find no match with Finland's skies at this time -- either normal view
or mirror-reflected. It could be that some of the "stars" are actually
hot pixels.
