In viewing the Jupitor strike, it looked to me that the teminal flash was
preceed by a visually short ablation trail. While short to us, it must have
been very long, and they are now saying that the strike may have largely
burned up before impacting as little impact results were seen. Also as a
note, while viewing Ice Road Truckers last night, a shot to the rear of one
of the truckers at about 48-50 min into the show looked like a slow meteor
falling over the drivers shoulder. Did others see that? Reflecting lights
are possible but it started near the top of the frame and got dimmer as it
became lower.
