Dear meteor observers,

I noticed an interesting Orionid meteor photo in the 
www.spaceweather.com gallery and wonder what your opinion might be 
regarding the flares coming off of it. Do you think the flares are 
meteor generated in the moment of ionization or caused by something else 
like high winds, time of exposure or camera artifact?
