Hello all,
Here is an interesting photograph of a fireball I came across earlier. I can't remember ever having seen a meteor/fireball photograph like it.
Towards the end of the fireball's path, the path appears to be "stepped". I don't think this is a photographic/scanner artifact or aliasing. The only thing that I can think of that might have caused this is fragmentation of the meteoroid. I'd be interested to hear what other meteorobs subscribers thoughts are on this one.

Clear skies,
