On the recording, an unidentified object glows in blue and flies right to the ground, it can be seen in a few seconds, and then he disappears.

Astronomer Gerald McKeegan suggested it burned out sporadic meteor (not associated with any meteor shower), and it is not connected with the asteroid DA14, which flew on Saturday night past the earth.
