What would make these videos much more helpful is to indicate the azimuth and elevation of the center of the field of view of the camera. It is only because I have worked with past videos from this camera that I have any idea which way it is pointed.
Note (with EXTREME relevance) that the meteoroid is RISING in elevation angle as viewed from York and goes dark before reaching maximum elevation angle. This tells you that York, PA, was pretty close to the centerline of the bolide track, and (more importantly) that meteorites would not be expected far from York's location (<100 miles). --Rob
Rob, the view in the video is shot through a fisheye lense. Look at the curvature of the ground at the bottom of the picture. A straight trajectory at the top of the picture would appear as if it was rising. -Al
