Meteors are waaaaaaay too far away for audible booms. Like, they break up something like ten kilometers above the surface, and given the low viewing angle on this one, this means it's an easy hundred kilometers away horizontally.
Rocky asteroids are more likely to put up this kind of light show. In this case, the salts of the metal will typically put on a decent light show when burned. I personally would have guessed green asteroids was copper, but color/light is pretty dependent on a few factors like concentration, mixture, angle of atmospheric viewing etc etc.
Yeah, the upper atmosphere is a totally different beast. The temperature, density, composition, and sometimes the energy state are all different than at/near sea level. Now a rock that's never reacted with anything ever comes in at a dozen miles per second and blows all three of those factors off the effing charts while in direct contact with said meteor and you can get some pretty "never seen THAT before" results.
"We never paid any heed to the ancient prophecies...
Like fools we clung to the old hatreds, and fought as we had for generations.
Until the day the sky rained fire... and a new enemy came among us.
We stand now, upon the brink of destruction... for the Reign of Chaos has come at last."
A voice like thunder deafens the world but speaks to the wielder of the Cialis staff, "I am ED. Champion of Wizkee-dicc. You defy my will. Your punishment will be soft."
"The funeral is calling the mortuary blow Between my legs I'm waking, I rise from down below Why do you think, believer, God gave you carnal lust? So pray to get a hard on before we turn to dust" - song lyrics by Powerwolf

it a shame the kid never got to see it, good thing you recorded it lol

If the kid had no interest in it it’s unlikely he would even remember it when growing up

That is exactly how "Day of Triffids" began in the book. "Oh, look, this one is a very bright one..."

Never heard of it - looks from imdb either trashy or endearing, will find out. :o)

Only saw the TV series as a kid. Pretty triffifying.

Video cut out too soon for the boom.

When I saw a meteor like that, it turned out to be hundreds of kilometres away. By the time the sound reached me it was too quiet to notice.

Saw one a couple years ago, maybe less. Boom was loud enough the windows shook

I saw a meteor that looked similar to the one in the video and after a few minutes there was a sound that was like distant thunder.

Some make a sound. It is one of the questions asked when reporting a sighting. https://fireball.amsmeteors.org/members/imo/report_intro

It was a green meteorite so yellow iron + blue magnesium = green?

that kid was there for the most awe-inspiring astronomical sight possible, and they're more interested in the balloon. and like, valid, same
Kiore
Turned around at exactly the wrong moment!
HellCartoonDog
For a kid everything is still awe-inspiring
TektronixTDS360
We should all be thankful that he had that sick balloon, otherwise his parents might not have been filming at that moment.
OuchYoureonmyhair
Especially since he missed it when he turned around.
DrKonrad
That's not a balloon, that's his staff, he was invoking meteor shower

Oh shit, he’s Sephiroth.

Just bad luck that he turned around right then. No indication it would be occurring.

It's a pretty great balloon

the fact that it's not even a balloon makes it an even greater balloon
