Hi everyone,

I wanted to share this video capture with you guys because I do think this is
a classic as it teachs us to always remember that perspective & timings can play tricks on us.

The following video capture was taken in Japan by a ccd camera connected to UFOCapture software and it is displayed in real time :

Since I am only an amateur astronomer and I have not much knowledge in meteors, I did submit this video to some people who could help and we & they basically reached a consensus, here it is :

Hi Christophe,

I (also as an amateur astronomer) think you're right... On the
compound picture you can see the path of the "insect" continue
downward, while the meteor appears in a nice and straight line.

If meteors could be drunk, I think they'd look like this though...
Seeing that with still a bit of a hangover from the newyear's
celebrations is a bit confusing :-)
