A fireball at night, brigter than the venus - 20.7.2014 at 00.47 Tampere Observation number 27781

Visibility III / V

Tapio Lahtinen, Tampereen Ursa

I noticed a couple of fireball sightings in the Sky Watch, so I checked out my own timelapse camera video for night clouds.
At the observed times, I did not notice the fireballs in the video but the suspicious flash appeared at 00:47 (about 1 minute behind the camera clock).
From the magnified (300%) image, I interpret that there could be a meteor flash.
