Hand held window shots aboard a Boeing 737-900 over the Gulf of
Mexico at 30k feet en route from Cozumel to Houston. Image #2 with the
streak is a one second film exposure coupled with an airspeed of approx
400mph. The jet traveled 586 feet to produce this image. The line moves
upward, indicating that the plane was turning left or northwest. Image #3
shows a straight NNW heading, flying over the gulf's center.
