Assateague Meteor Pop

I set up my camera to take pictures of the Geminids Meteor Showers with an intervalometer -- to take a 17 second photo every (I think) 25 seconds. Going through my photos the next day, I noticed something on several photos in a row...this 'red spread' left by the meteor in the upper left. When the meteor burnt up, it left (what I believe is called) a persistent train behind -- where iron oxide and sodium combine with ozone, an the upper winds distort the shape of the 'smoke'. (Time runs left to right on each row, top to bottom. Note that this is a crop of only about 3-5% of the original photo.)
