I have captured numerous aircraft on long exposure and they all have strobes and appear as segmented lines. This one certainly does not, though it may be so close that it is not showing the break in strobes <snip>

I think the explanation for that is probably that usually you photograph small slow moving aircraft like a cessna while this is a much larger aircraft (Due to all of the light streaks - a small cessna wouldent have as many lights) and was probably moving faster and further away (Although not 30,000 feet as there were landing lights on).
Anybody also notice that in the photo the "Meteor" is going up toward space rather than falling like you would expect a meteor to do?
Cheers
