Nice photo, but no flash visible ot path "tube".
But then, what could possibly be seen on a digital photo the size of a postage stamp? and "sized" for viewing on the web?

Actually, I think I see something coming in from the top left hand corner and going into the water at about a 45 degree angle...

I saved it to my hard drive and magnified it-- the event is visible, along with a faint trail leading down to it.

You can see the path tube going from upper left corner down towards the middle of the pic - where there is small glowing spot.

Can't even see the "wharf lamp" let alone the meteorite hit.
Since he was taking time-lapse pictures, I wonder if the picture above is before or after the strike. Somebody posted the wrong pic!

The faint brown trail is from top left of photo to center, terminating at a small point of light a few meters above the wharf.

Squinting didn't do it for me so I scrunched and
then it was a plain as day.
I could see the tube if I turned the photo upsidedown.
Awesome.

Look closer and you will see it. Just about in the center of the photo with a tail going into the sky.
