Good post, Jim
 
 
It got me and I'm a pilot. I guess I could claim that the engines on those high flyers burn coal!

Wayne,
  Appears a lot of jet contrail debris is showing up in N Cal. Can the list assume that the moderator now agrees that this was a meteor...Just some light hearted fun :-)

Not particularly. Looks like a jet contrail disappating.

Would a series of three images change your opinion?

This reminds me of the famous 1972 Tetons meteor which was captured skipping off the atmosphere by tourists filming. A still of the event, with people gawking at it in the foreground, was published in a Nat'l Geographic in the 80s and is still one of the most incredible images I've ever seen. That meteor was similarly south to north and exited the atmosphere somewhere around Edmonton, Canada.
