This was submitted to my blog this morning:

"Here is a video of surveillance camera that shows a flash at 8:47 pm.
In Louisiana. "

I believe this to be the first (and currently only) direct video
sighting of the fireball.

I have been in contact with the author, but have not yet heard back
regarding the exact location and camera positioning.

There have been a lot of fake pictures so far, so I can't say with
certainty, that this isn't also a fake, but it appears to be
authentic. It seems someone recorded a surveillance monitor with a
camera phone and the timestamps etc look right. the blast also looks
right to me, reminds me of the dugway proving grounds meteor explosion
from a while back. Will report back if I find out anything more about
this.
