There are 360 possible directions the camera could be facing
horizontally. Determining and East/West trajectory from one video is
impossible without knowing the direction the camera was facing.

Wish I could help you with a link, but I did not think to save. A quick
google search of a meteorite video captured by high school football moms
over a Texas, I believe, Friday night football might suffice.
Not all the many offered football mom video shoots of this spectacular
meteorite fall captured the green glow but some of them did.
The meteor traversed the video field of vision from right to left which
left me with the distinct impression that it was traveling from east to
west, although I have no factual data to verify that gut reaction.

This is the bow wave which we see as a cross section of a cone. It is
the
front boundary of a zone of compression twixt the bow wave and the
surface of
the
meteor. The green color is from atmospheric oxygen being heated to the
point of
emitting its spectra bands which when combined together appears as green
light
The wave is usually too faint for a camera to pick up I'd love a link.

Subject: [meteorite-list] Green Glowing Meteorites?
Hi All,
While checking-out available video footage of meteor falls I notice
there
appears to be a green colored glow emitting from the front of some
meteors. Is this due to air pollution or is there another possible
cause
such as a chemical composition of particularly green glowing meteors
being the likely cause?
Too basic a question? Pardon my asking.
Thanks.
Dave Gunning
