(meteorobs) A meteor or a sat flash?- radio gives it away

[MEM]

AHhhh!  They do exist!  I've always been told that a flash or "point meteor" is one of perspective.  In this case the observer is staring up the barrel of a meteor coming right at them. The explainatioin makes sense to me.

Actually, I've seen a couple in my life but not an image until now.  Another strike through on my bucket list.

Good follow through in validating it as well.  The talent on this list is awesome.
