Hi Joe,
I've seen these many times -- you captured a firefly in your photo!

I did catch this the other day, I am 100% sure it is not a plane, jet or anything like that. It looks like a meteor, but the path boggles my mind. It take a path that is not 100% straight, could it still be a meteor? The beginning and the end both fade and you can see the center of the beginning is white and the possible meteor is yellow.

Is it possible the shape or an explosion could have changed the trajectory or could it be an illusion from the camera?
