I didnt see much of this, saw the flash of the meteor, but didnt notice the smoke trail at the time. The trail was still dissipating over 4 minutes after the flash. The first is re-sized, the smoke trail, a steadily expanding S, just cropped. The initial cloud and trail are visible in 21 frames, 10 second exposures at 1600 ISO, one second between frames. It was still there when I moved the camera. From Keller, Washington on April 23rd at 0851 UT
