Wow that is an amazing pic... I think it is real, not doctored.
As to the question of its origin, I'm not sure. I definitely don't think it
is a contrail... I think the main question is whether it is a satellite
re-entry or a comet fragment?
Just my two cents...
As a note of interest, I posted a question to aurora watchers for
observations of recent fireballs, and got the following reply...
