styleman333,

At first I thought it was fake. But, the second iteration of the video in slow motion shows that it is real. Very, very cool!

You might want to edit your post and move the emoticon to the next line as it is garbling the YouTube URL.

Regards,
Humayun

I read a caption that it wasn't a meteor but in fact it was the tool bag that the NASA Shuttle astronaut lost !
