(meteorobs) Nevada area fireball?

[stange]

I believe it is internal lens reflection. The almost uniform line appears 
just after the ablation has moved beyond zenith and then the line diminishes 
backwards as the ablation proceeds forward. I see no evidence of ablation 
spurs or variation in the line reflection which would  suggest independant 
movement of a second particle.
