mmmm, that looks weird. I only know of a fireball type sighting in swansea in 2006, hadn't ralised they had one before then which such a perfect picture. You know anymore about that day?

Apparently there are two suggestions. One is it's a sofa size meteor exploding on entering the earth's atmosphere, and the other is it's a contrail from a plane reflecting the sunset.

Have to admit, the latter sounded ridiculous at first, but the more I look the more i see it could be

That is NOT a contrail.. Contrails are ice crystals, THAT is fire.. Meteor for sure....

Besides, a contrail would look like the left side of the pic glowing yellow..what is on the right side is an explosion like fireball..

Wow!

I agree with Solstice Moon. I think it could be a contrail intersecting a cloud. If a high cloud is sunlit and overexposed on camera, that's exactly how it looks. I have several slides of clouds that look similar. Those slides are my rejects.

Remember Ockham's razor. The simplest explanation is probably the right one.

Actually a meteorite is a simple explanation as they bombard earth daily. However that said you seem to have a great photo of ice crystals in water vapor relflecting the sun. Contrail wins this round.
