Stunning video indeed! For me, funny to hear the voice of mission PI Peter
Jenniskens too, who's a long standing friend of mine (we observed meteors
together from his parent's farm when he was still in Hollland)

I think they had equipment on the other side of the aircraft as well....

It definitely is a meteor indeed.
