On  the theory that these "curves" may actually be visual effects in the 
persistent train as it disperses, you might consider widening your enquiry to 
ask, "Who has ever photographed a meteor with a train through a telescope?"

FYI, as I mentioned before, I myself have seen meteors that appeared to have 
curled, kinked, and even intertwined TRAINS - but I've never seen a meteor 
whose TRAIL (i.e., path in the sky) actually curved...

Clear skies,
Lew
