I would think that the fish-eye lens would also exaggerate the so-called
meteor and its trail in the photo, but it doesn't, so I think it's
photoshopped.

It is a fish eye lens, which exaggerates the view.

What an awesome picture! Real or not it sure does feed the imagination an
allow you to imagine the trip in from a birds-eye-view.

That said, something about the altitude at which the photo was taken looks
odd to me. Do commercial planes fly that high?

Happy Friday everyone!
