Meteor smoke plume starting

I got lucky during the Geminid meteor shower this year and managed to capture part of a very bright track and smoke plume near the Orion Constellation. This image shows smoke plume 6 min after the flash.
There is a video of the complete event at http://youtu.be/nMHK6c-9Iuc
