Default Meteor / Fireball west of Calgary?

I caught a flash out of the corner of my eye, and pulled over and snapped this picture just off Richmond road, across from Richmond Green facing west. Looks like some sort of small vapor trail left over. Anyone else see anything? Or am I just hallucinating.

Well that's either a vapor trail or you have a smudge on your lens.

Try cleaning it.

Lol, no I took 4 or 5 pictures of it from different angles. The trail definitely went behind the clouds. And the trail was still there when I got home 10 minutes later still dissipating.

The only thing that sparked it as odd to me was the fact I saw a bright flash out of the corner of my eye, and there was no photo radar cars on the side of the road.

Man, it's amazing how well you get to know a city as the years go by. As I get into my late twenties, I feel like there's almost no place in Calgary where someone can take a picture where I can't visualize exactly where it is within seconds.

No, if you were Mikey, you'd be speculating that the government is somehow involved with the fireball.

I bet further back up the road that street light lined up nicely with the tip of the chemtrail and made it look like Armageddon.
