Image Details:

here is my composite stacked image of the Perseid meteor shower, I captured the image Two years ago on the peak of the meteor shower but just edited it a few days ago and noticed that one of the meteors didn't have a straight passage trail, I heard about these meteors but I never saw one before,

so I thought that this might be a great example for explaining that differences in the shape and aerodynamics can cause a different path for a meteor as in passes through the atmosphere
