Classic bright meteor with transition from green to red colours at different atmospheric heights (oxygen/nitrogen involved..). Waviness is from high level winds distorting the glowing train left behind, which although not as bright as the meteor itself persists for a period of time (seconds or longer) and therefore contributes sometimes more to the image brightness than the meteor itself.
