Mark Vornhusen's web camera documented the fireball from <a href="/wiki/Vechta" title="Vechta">Vechta</a>, located about 160 km (99 mi) from Braunschweig.<sup id="cite_ref-journal_2-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-journal-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-lpi_1-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-lpi-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The <a href="/wiki/Light_meter" title="Light meter">light meter</a> of a weather station in <a href="/wiki/Brandenburg" title="Brandenburg">Brandenburg</a>, approximately 240 km (150 mi) from Braunschweig, recorded 5 seconds of brightening.
