Hello all,
I am retracting my early statements that Astro Mike's image is of an aircraft.
He was kind enough to provide me with the original RAW file for me to examine.
This allowed me to look at the image at full resolution and at full bit depth.
I too own a Canon 20D, which is the camera he

And, with the addition of the Star Trek uniform, I think he's on his
way to becoming a legend...at least in his own mind anyway.
Whether the image proves to be an airplane of a meteor, I've always
had a hard time legitimizing people who dress-up like fictional
fantasy characters.

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

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

While I was out in the field myself, Steve started a thread about handing out
fact sheets to the media after a fall. Very good idea.
