He just fired a small fireworks rocket?

Now that's interesting. Are you looking at it from the other
direction - i.e. going out rather than in?

"Meteor experts don't think it's a meteor. Atmospheric scientists don't
think it's lightning. The photographer insists that the streak and flash on
the above image has not been created digitally."

This is all consistent with a small rocket going out, isn't it. From the
picture it looks like a real possibility to me....
