That's an interesting assessment, Dean. I have captured numerous aircraft on long exposure and they all have strobes and appear as segmented lines. This one certainly does not, though it may be so close that it is not showing the break in strobes. Either way, it's definitely something to ponder,

Hey Dean, List, OK all... Before we get all excited over this. The photo IS in fact 100% a fireball, without a doubt it is a fireball fragmentation. It came from Mike Hankey and he has graciously let me post it on my meteorite blog. There is an explanation of the photo below with links to

Another interesting feature that points to fireball is that the light streaks are not consistent in intensity - like a flickering object. This could be due to over-enhancement, but I don't think so. Every other telescope/long exposure image I can find on the web (of aircraft) shows them like solid

I still think it's an airplane. If it was a meteor, I'd expect to see perhaps some weak afterglow image of the train snaking in the upper atmosphere. I see no hint of this. Unless the photographer stopped the exposure less than a second after the meteor's appearance. The train snakes very
