Important note:
the video the user is referring to - I noticed that whomever cut, mixed and uploaded it - clipped in the middle of it, another but different meteor event in; that from 7 Nov 2020 over middle Sweden.
The length of the meteor over Norway from 25 July 2021 was - in my opinion - of shorter duration compared to the 7 Nov 2020 event 65-70 km from Stockholm, where the latter was both longer and slightly brighter. By the way the remnants of it, 14 kg, have been found - where Sott.net listed a Live Science article about it
However, it it wasn't over Uppsala, > but outside of Enköping !
25 July 2021 (over Norway i suppose)
Speaking of the 7 Nov 2020 Swedish meteor
I saw the cyan greenish light illuminating more than half of the sky over Stockholm - because I had just arrived with my train at the end station at Åkeshov, outside the city, in the WNW of Stockholm - and the direction of my train cabin was favorable located towards WNW (where the meteor went down, only 65-70 km away). Albeit the driver cabin's drapery was pulled down a lot, through the side, I could see that the (overcast) sky suddenly lit up - which by instinct reminded me of a light level equivalent to a dull, overcast afternoon winter day - but with strong cyan color cast.
I knew within a nanosecond that it (likely) was a meteor.
And it was.

- It makes sense now. I was at home during the night, and suddenly the double glass doors leading out onto the balcony started to rattle, as if someone was shaking it back and forth, but I'm on the 4th floor in Oslo, and just couldn't find an answer or a reason in my mind why that should have happened: no wind, it was just quite a warm calm night. I walked out onto the balcony and saw my neighbours come out onto the lower balconies seeming curious, which confirmed they too had heard what I heard.... So.. now I know what it was

Interesting how more and more we hear about "unusual" or rare celestial events. 
Recently this apparently very rare meteor outburst occurred:
