Upon exiting the shopping, I noticed something unusual in the sky. My Canon SX30 is always with me and never separated. Because of these surprises. And well he did his job! Meteor, or .... ?
I now have a Canon SX50. We expect the new unusual encounters!

Position shooting

From your EXIF data: first image at 2013:03:01 18:50:49, second image (1st crop) 18 seconds later at 18:51:07, third image 13 seconds later at 18:51:20 and final image 23 seconds later at 18:51:43. At 54 seconds total from first image to last I'd say that if it was a meteor it would have been the slowest on record. From the sky glow and elevation it's likely a distant jet and its contrail still in sunlight just after sundown. Wish I had a more exciting diagnosis...
