If you watch the timecode in the top part of the screen you can see that it's just the same one over and over again.

Nevertheless, not unusual for a meteor to break up into several pieces in the upper atmosphere. From what I've been hearing, it's pretty likely that this one hit the ground somewhere and I'm sure there's an army of meteorite hunters out there looking for it right now.
