Re: [meteorite-list] Super photo, looks real !

Sounds fishy to me. The description of the event makes it sound like a fireball, but this seems far too dim, and (apparently) too low in the sky for a fireball that would produce sound. What the image really looks like is a jet contrail in the sunset. I've had dozens of these sent to me as
