Ron I did that yesterday and the plane of Iridium33 orbit passed right over that area at the correct time. Just a coincidence however because the meteor was travelling east-west and Iridium is in a polar orbit. In the video it is obviously a meteor. I read that "10 minute" quote also and it was referring to a persistent trail. This brings up another question possibly OT.. Do moderate sized meteor fireballs leave a daylight visible smoke trail that high? I was under the impression that trails you see at night are all plasma.
