I put a movie on youtube showing the meteor and the residual smoke trail that persisted. Click here to see that.

October 13, 2007 Orionid Meteors
I saw plenty of meteors. Sometimes 3-4 would fall every minute for a minute or two then slow up for a while. Most of the
meteors were faint and fast. But one meteor was extrememly bright and left behind a visible smoke trail for 7-8 minutes!
and the visible smoke trail
Didn't get as many meteors as last night. This was bright but went out of camera view
Composite of 4 seperate meteors.
Meteor clearly pointing out the Orionid Radiant.
This is obviously not a Orionid but its nice anyway.
A nice bright Orionid Meteor.
This meteor occurred less than 30 seconds after the previous one but came from the opposite direction and appears to be a possible late Draconid Meteor.
Unzoomed and zoom of same meteor from just after midnight.
