Default Stardust vs. meteor trail

Take a look at:
http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/st...c8flight1.html

Can anyone explain the "lolipop" shape versus the normal cometary (round
front slowly tapering to a thin trail) shape of the meteor trail. Is it
just the angle or the exposure time that makes it look so odd?
