It's certainly real. That's a typical meteor train dissipation pattern.

The train it produced appears to have lasted for several minutes in this sped up video. I have had trouble in the past with my email provider in getting links to go thru to the list if I type it "intact", so you will need to enter it as below, but obviously without any spaces at all between any of the parts. If you haven't seen this before, and if this is real event and not just computer generated, it is pretty cool, and only 10 secs long.
