Is anyone aware of a bolide event that might have occurred at 2130 GMT on 8
Aug 07 in the northern Iraq / southern Kurdistan region?



A fireball, trailing a "corkscrew" shaped smoke trail was observed for 3-4
seconds travelling from South to North by the crew of a commercial aircraft.



It is most likely that the aircraft was under fire from a surface to air
missile, but there are some aspects that don't jive!



Many thanks in advance.
