I would think that the fish-eye lens would also exaggerate the so-called meteor and its trail in the photo, but it doesn't, so I think it's photoshopped.

What an awesome picture! Real or not it sure does feed the imagination an allow you to imagine the trip in from a birds-eye-view. That said, something about the altitude at which the photo was taken looks odd to me. Do commercial planes fly that high? Happy Friday everyone!
