(meteorobs) Fireball caught on film

[Terry Johnson]

That's because it's directed by Steven Spielberg.

Almost EVERY movie by Spielberg has a simulated meteor at some point.  And
according to numerous interviews with him, it comes from a childhood memory
of being awaked in the middle of the night by his father; being driven in
mystery to a distant, dark place; and watching a glorious meteor shower in
silence.  :o)

It would seem he thinks that no matter what unexpected event takes place, a
shooting star can still calm the nerves.

I just saw Jaws the 1975 movie. About 30 minutes before the end, just after
all the late night singing and comparing of scars, a beautiful meteor is
caught on film.
When the police chief loads his pistol the camera is looking up at him and a
nice fireball with reds and greens streaming behind is seen.
Just a little trivia.
