Hi all,

My first thought was GREAT, Just in time to buy/sell in Tucson!

However, I think I agree with this comment.

"Hmmm. I doubt this one is a meteor.
>From the video, it appears that the person shooting it was already
starting to pay attention well before the peak event. In the video,
you can see a pulsating red glow in a stationary position well before
it becomes very bright, the latter only happening 18 seconds in the
video. The bright peak, of several seconds duration, also seems to be
quite stationary. So the event, whatever it was, was already going on
for at least 18 seconds, and it does not seem to be moving during that
time.
  My guess this is something originating on Earth. To me, it looks
like a fire or series of small explosions and subsequent large
explosion or flash fire reflecting on a cloud deck. The Russian
article (in Google translation) seems to suggest there is a major
chemical plant nearby? I wonder if any explosions were heard some tens
of seconds after the movie ends."
