Hello List,
During my absence there was a video that was purported to be taken in the UK on 15/16FEB2014.?

?The video appears to me to have been of Chelyabinsk as geometry and behavior of the fireball are the same and the car license plates appear to be Russian.. ?I have never seen this clip before so can anyone verify. ?Anyways this is likely a video of Chelyabinsk taken in a taxi lot somewhere in Russia. I am dubious of the supposed UK video. Nevertheless, this is a good video of a real event.

Hoax/substitution/faked videos are becoming more and more common. ?Please help me and others by noting faked videos and if you spot something that appears so, please let me know offlist. ?Thank you.

It would be fantastic if someone would help me make a catalog of real videos. Thanks!
