Odd smoke plume over Ireland

[GM4AJK]

There have been plenty of videos of satellites re-entering (which was my first impression of this video) but the first 3 seconds (flash and audible bang) seem to suggest otherwise. A firework on a very windy evening?

This looks to me like the smoke from the firework being blown northwards.

The video is from Buncranna, Ireland on 3 October at 9.45pm. The wind was indeed from 175 degrees, so blowing towards the north at that time.

And you couldn't have a more obvious pattern of stars in frame to show which way is north!
