I'm glad to inform you that a French observer from Corsica,Sauveur Pedranghelu, has detected a impact flash live on Jupiter,in the North polar area of Jupiter.
This flash seems shorter than the others (~0.5s vs 1-2s),but with 2 brightness peaks.
Please check your videos around that time (Jupiter was well placed for European and Asian observers), and let us know if you recover it on your original videos!
Despite no previous similar flashes left a detectable trace afterwards, please watch for a possible trace left after the impact which should be dark in visible wavelengths,and bright in methane.

Another simultaneous observation of the 2015.05.26 19:25UT flash on Jupiter, from Germany this time, from Thomas Riessler:
This confirms nicely Sauveur's observation, although from the original video there was absolutely no doubt for me.
At least a third observer (from Germany) observed it.
