Several fireballs and bolides lately:

“Roman Piffl sends this report from Slovakia: “Last night, a very bright Taurid fireball streaked over the northern horizon of Marianka near our capital city Bratislava.” He and colleagues Ivan Majchrovic and Tomas Maruska captured the meteor in this 30 second exposure”

Nice. I’ve seen two or three fireballs in my lifetime, one in daylight. Always rather startling.
