[Lonesome in Massachussets]

I honestly cannot discern the trail. Thomas Jefferson is famously quoted as saying he could sooner believe that a couple of Yankee professors lied than he could believe that rocks fell from the sky. Could have been an electrical fault in the light stanchion.

And yes, it is almost impossible to see the trail. I don't know why they think it's a meteorite when you can hardly see anything.

There was an earlier thread on this story with better quality photos in which the trail was visible (barely).

"If this is true, it's one of the most remarkable pictures ever taken," astronomy tutor Geoff Carr said yesterday.

No, the most remarkable picture ever taken was the one of Tara Reid's "wardrobe malfunction".

Here is my Photoshop enhanced version. You can see the trail going from the upper left corner down towards the image of the sun.

.....than he could believe that rocks fell from the sky.

This was before the evaporation/condensation cycle of rocks was well known.

Hey I've managed to snap a photo of a basselope .....

I'd like to know what kind of camera they used. It would seem to me that the "meteorite" would be a long blur given the incredible speed that it likely was moving at.
