Meteor Trail on Maui

We were greeted by a strange site at sunrise on April 11, 2007. Grabbed some photos, including this one from our lanai on Maui. The next day, we found out that this was the trail of a meteor. About an hour earlier, people saw a very bright streak in the sky, and apparently the meteor entry caused a "contrail". Normally, we don't get contrails from fly-overs.

 

To say the least, this is a very unusual sight.

 

Be sure to take a look at the photo on a black background (just click on the image).
