Details:
The tail end of this fireball seems to be pointing back to the constellation of Taurus. Yes, it could be a sporadic. If it is indeed a Taurid, then it was an impressive showing because it exploded several times before it finally disintegrated. This could mean that it was a probably a nice sized rock.
A few hours later there was another fireball near Venus that was most likely a sporadic.
