I caught a very similar meteor in 2019. Video is here https://youtu.be/XLveGtJsvk4?si=wDjZ9dKAGo6ymLf1
The one from this morning exhibited the same ablation/disintegration.
The resolution of this mornings one is significantly better but the spectral type/form are the same.
Whatever the mineralogy, the large sodium signal seems to indicate a particular meteor behaviour.
Another little insight into things…
Cheers,
Bill.
