This is a very clear picture and the verdict is now clear: not a fake, but
also certainly not a meteoritic fireball, of that I am sure.

This is an aircraft trail either showing a 'false sun' due to refracted
sunlight (i.e. a halo phenomena), or otherwise the suggestions on the BBC
website that it might concern a military aircraft dumping fuel and then
igniting it with its afterburner is correct.
