Turn your sound way up first, and you may actually be able to hear the meteor:

Saw one earlier in the night, about 1900z. It certainly wasn't your average meteor, burning up brightly in the eastern night sky for several seconds. Doubt it's related but coincidence all the same. Impressive!

A question about a meteor seen from the cockpit is moved to the spotters forum?
Simply amazing

It will probably look like that B747 that was shot down over Long Island a few years back

A meteor strike might be easier to believe than the official story when comes to that B747

Is there a Meteor spotters forum
With the reorganised forums, I think the Meteor Forum will be very popular, as a spin off from the UFO forum.

Love the photo. Does anyone know what those fin like structures are protruding under the fuselage?

At a guess, chutes for links and empty cases ejected from the cannons. But I'll ask my father who has some Meteor time in his logbook.

That is exactly what they are.

Thanks ... it's nice to know what's hanging off other folk's aircraft.

After just one of my landings, there are usually quite a few bits in that category!
