[meteorite-list] Huge Daylight Fireball Video?

<<Still though, if it were a  contrail from an airplane wouldn't it persist 
in the air longer than it  does? The "tail" of this fireball seems to 
stay the same length through out  the video and not stretch out across 
all the way across the sky like a  contrail would. Why is that?<<


Once right after sunset, I saw  what appeared to be a very short "comet" 
hanging in the sky, low on the horizon.  It seemed to be not moving and I 
thought perhaps it could be a comet. So I got  out my 14X100 binoculars and 
peaked at it. What I could barely make out was a  jet airliner just a hair 
beyond the trail. It appeared to be traveling obliquely  away from me. I then 
could make out slow motion and the contrail never got  bigger than about half 
of a small finger nails width at arms length. There was  some foreshortening 
going on here and probably with the video's object as well.  Have someone 
hold a yard stick perpendicular from you and it will look like a  "yard" in 
length. then have them hold it with it's end towards you and slightly  askew 
and it will appear very short. at long distances, the motion will become  
difficult to notice.
