Is the meteor you have captured the same as that seen by Denis Buczynski in his image?

Grant, sorry for the delay in replying to you. Sadly, it is not the meteor seen by Denis. It is an overhead cable installed by BT when my new next door neighbor asked for an internet connection recently. Scottish Broadband had installed underground cables in every road in my village last year but BT prefer to use the old telegraph poles, one of which is in my back garden. I expect an increase in my overhead wire pollution in the next few years. Not a great fan of BT these days :)
