Hi Marco:

Not a problem. I only saw one video and it was quite clear that the appearance during that interval was most likely caused by a reentry. I think we are getting close to figuring it out with one likely candidate being a Falcon 9 rocket body. More to come....

 In the first video it looked faster than in the
 other imagery, that is why I 
 kept open the
 option of a meteoric fireball. Meteorite falls can feature
 exactly 
 the same things: notably abundant
 fragmentation with the formation of a train of 
 fragments, where different fragments can be
 followed for a long time, etcetera. 
 That is
 not restricted to re-entries.
 
 Now more imagery is in, and with the find of
 what indeed appears to be space 
 debris, it
 is becoming clear this was a re-entry indeed (likely from
 one of the 
 launches of the past few days),
 to that I agree!
