Hi Stan,
The flare and time stamp on the image file name should be correct within a few seconds (2024-08-12 23:27:40 UTC) What time was your fireball ?
The camera takes 10 sec exposures per frame for fainter objects in the deeper sky rather than video for meteors but I am pretty sure what I saw was a satellite, not a fireball.
In the stretched images I can see the faint track for about 50 seconds before the flare, the flare lasted about 20 seconds and the track then continued as before the flare for at least another 10 seconds.
The animation is too big to post here but I have uploaded it to my website here.

The animation is 20x true speed. Each frame is a 10 second exposure, the yellow arrow marks the track in each image.
Did any of the myriad of NEMATODE/GMN cameras in the south of the country pick up your fireball perhaps?
Cheers
Robin
