Ha ha! After reading the title I was a bit intrigued, and was expecting to see a UFO plunge down into an open manhole or something

Hi it's a timelapse looks more like a plane than a meteor, if its 20 -30 seconds exposure for each shot a meteor will show up in just one most of the time and aircraft will show up on a few.
You have to remember to make a timelapse the exposures will be 20-30 seconds and the gap between each exposure will be longer to show the movement of the stars so it's most likely a plane!!!edit on 12-8-2013 by wmd_2008 because: (no reason given)edit on 12-8-2013 by wmd_2008 because: (no reason given)

I see a time lapse video that suggests it is slow motion when actually it is faster then normal speed. So that sort of rules out a meteor but it doesn't rule out a plane.
We don't know how the video was edited.
The videographer may have created the time lapse in post-production (using an half hour or so of normal-speed footage), and decide for "artistic purposes" to include the one second of meteor footage in real-time amongst the rest of the footage, which was shown time-lapse.
Or, it could have been a plane in time-lapse.

lol i like the comment the author made claiming it took his pain away....its a timelapse, probably images taken every 30 seconds, so....it was going a lot slower than the video makes it look. Could have been a plane for all we know, im sure someone here can do the math of the time it took from when it first came into frame to when it left.
Im downloading the video to have a better look....but its certainly nothing alien, that i can tell straight away.
EDIT: It took 4m 30s to move across the sky....it doesnt disappear it fades away as it moves further from the camera. As its a timelapse focusing on the Milkyway everything else is out of focus. It could be a plane given the timeframe to cross the short distance in the sky. There is another one at a higher altitude at 11 seconds or frames 340 to 430.edit on 12-8-2013 by AmberLeaf because: (no reason given)
