Nice catch !!..    The motion, speed, relative brightness, brief train... all look correct for a meteor.  I'm not even one 
of the so called experts here, but you clearly snagged a daytime meteor in your video.

I hope you had as much fun at the launch as I have had at many since Apollo 17.

Congrats,
Steve

 Still looks right to me...how can a
 bird be leaving debris behind it
 (apart from the obvious) ;-)
