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?

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.

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.
