I was also thinking that at the altitude of a typical passenger airplane the curvature of the earth is not quite so apparent. :)

Hi all,
I thought even large meteors go dark below about 30 miles. He's in a
plane no more than 8 miles high and looking down or across the
"meteor".? No way is it real.
