Hello Marc,
I don't think that your anticipation is correct.
In fact Phil Bagnall from England, formerly, maybe still?
on the list has a special page on his website about spiraling
meteors.
Personally during the surprise -pre 17 hours - of the Leonids
in 1998, I saw one strong meteor, maybe -8

Howdy, list
Impressive picture! The trail is twisted in a repeating fashion that
can't just be due to winds - I'd say the meteor corkscrewed its way
through the atmosphere. I'm curious - the maximum survivable entry
velocity for meteorites was calculated a while back (forgive the lack

This looks a bit like the lingering dust trail of the Tagish Lake
meteorite - in other words, maybe they find something friable,
something carbonaceous !

Hello,
Actually my impression is that the corkscrewing is
caused by the *very* high speed of a meteor, not the rotation
of the meteorite, if there is rotation at all.
Think about the corckscrewing you see at the wingtips
of a jetplane - airliner. The higher the speed the more
corckscrewing
Hello, Bjorn and the list,
the direction was (or at the moment we suppose, it was) about from
south / south-west to east / east-south, against Vaasa, Finland. The
angle seems to was quite low, about 30 degrees, and the crossing-
point with the ground is somewhere between Vaasa and Valassaaret
on
Please, ignore my former e-mail, made some mistakes with
directions...:-( These should be more correct.

Hello Pekka,
Thanks for the info.
I found a nice link to Valassaaret here:

I can buy that explanation. I've been thinking about this, and it
seems that the only way to be sure of whether its the meteor or its
trail thats doing the spiraling is to catch it in action. We do get to
catch meteors in the act on a regular basis at night, and to the best

hundreds of Finns to mistakenly report the natural phenomenon as
emergency flares from distressed vessels, officials said.
