Patrick, The upper part of that trail looks like a jet contrail that has been blown by the jet stream or upper winds, could that meteor be low enough for its trail to be affected by wind, say 40,000 to 50,000 ft? Wayne
Actually, in this case, the "meteor" is shuttle Columbia reentering over southern Utah on 05 NOV 1995. So yes, it definitely was "low" enough to have the train disturbed by wind. Patrick
