Default Meteor?

Looking north from East Yorkshire there is an unusually bright
contrail-like feature. It would appear to be in the stratosphere - meteor?


Perhaps it was this! or a fragment of it.

OHIO FIREBALL: Last night, just before midnight on Sept. 27-28, sky watchers
in more than a dozen US states witnessed a bright flash of light. NASA
all-sky cameras recorded a brilliant fireball, which analysts believe was a
meter-class space rock exploding almost directly above Columbus, Ohio.
Images and more information about this event may be found on today's edition
