Caption: Figure 3.
Ground-based optical observations of the Queensland superbolide. Selected frames from the Paddys Green station showing the evolution of the event. Frame (a) displays the initial entry. Frames (b) and (c) illustrate the rapid increase in luminosity, leading to severe sensor saturation for ∼3 s around the brightest part. Frame (d) shows the final stages of the trajectory on which the terminal height was constrained.
