Interesting how the glow around the fireball becomes brighter and more orange as the atmosphere is more dense. As for the impact of a desk size meteor, compare the meteor that killed the dinosaurs was the size of Washington, DC cubed and left a crater 120 miles in diameter. The Chesapeake meteor that left a 60 mile crater was probably 3 miles cubed.
