2013.11.09. 20:43:36 UT-kor interesting, double meteor from Debrecen, Hungary. Two disintegrated bodies are clearly seen for seconds.
2012 April 29 --- 19:08:10 UT
Visual observers reported from the SW part of Hungary this bright fireball moving paralell to the horizon from East to West. The average of brightess estimations was -8 mag. In Croatia multiple cameras recorded the event and the members of CMN reconstructed its atmospheric trajectory. Entry velocity was about 8-9 km/s and it terminated at 46-47 km elevation. Visual observers reported explosion and fragmentation, later it was confirmed by camera data at H=50km. (On the map the red line is the 3D trajectory, white lines are its projection to the surface and viewing angles by CMN cameras.

-4,3m bright Sporadic fireball to the North, with multiple flashes.
2012 April 21 --- 22:56:30 UT
It is the Lyrids night, but the brightest fireball arrived from the Antihelion source just before 1am. The animation below was taken from the MTA Solar physics observatory in Debrecen (camera facing to the North).

2011 December 7 --- 00:22:40 UT
This special fireball with multiple flashes was captured by the Mintron camera in Becsehely (Hungary), from the Nagykanizsa Astronomical Association's observatory. More details are on the NAE page. (Click on the image for animated version.)
2011 October 26 --- 02:41:05 UT (local time 04:41:05)
A giant fireball showed up in the field of the camera located in the BKMÖ observatory in Baja, Hungary. In the first couple of frames the dark sky background is clearly visible, however the final flash just saturated most of the image. The MetRec software was able to record the event till this moment. The fireball reached its maximum brightness at -3.9 magnitude.

Cosmic traffic close call captured from Hódmezővásárhely, Hungary:
A slow-paced 0.8 Sporadic meteor progressed from South to North and the bright -2.4 one arriving from the left just missed it.

Bright fireball passes above Lake Balaton, Hungary
The event was captured by multiple cameras within the IMO network. The video footage featured here is from Becsehely, Hungary.
The two DSLR still camera images shown below are of the same event taken from different locations north of Lake Balaton.

2012 April 29 --- 19:08:10 UT
Visual observers from the SW part of Hungary reported a bright fireball moving paralell to the horizon from East to West. Its brightness was estimated to -8 magnitudes. Several cameras captured it Croatia and the members of CMN reconstructed its trajectory. The entry velocity was about 8-9 km/s and the terminated at 46-47 km elevation. Visuals observers reported a fragmentation at about H=50km which has been later confirmed by videos.
