On January 12, 2012 — At 9:16pm HST (hawaii standard time) — a large fireball was captured by the time-lapse camera located at the CFHT (canada-france-hawaii telescope).
Clearly, this object is not close to the camera — more likely off the horizon — as it passed through earth’s atmosphere — the object flared into a bright fireball.
Screenshot above is from approximately :29sec into the video… link to the video is here: (title says Jan 13 however the timelapse starts at sunset on the 12th)

Worthy to note… same day as this fireball in Hawaii…
Sheilaaliens put out a video on Jan 12, 2012 from Japan — showing a large fireball — I wonder if these two events are related? http://www.youtube.com/sheilaaliens
