Look at it this way - it traveled all that time to be in the right place @ the right time for you to capture it! Thumbswayup

Most likely an aircraft contrail. When doing time lapses the effect of contrails appear as meteor trails, I have taken a lot of time lapses and had it happen often. Shooting stars or meteor trails are very fast in comparison. Another indicator of a meteor is they tend to pulse (not always) but most do as they tumble and burn the outer layers of the meteor from the thicker atmosphere

I do not think so. The visibility of the white object is not more than 3 - 4 seconds in the laps. The setting was 3 sec per shot. So the flight of the object is not more 9 seconds. There is no aircraft which is able to cross this distance for 9 seconds...

3 seconds per shot x 3 seconds in timelapse x 25 FPS = 225 seconds or 3.75 minutes.

If that was a normal meteor, it would have been in or 1 or 2 frames. Only Dino killing sized meteors streak across the sky for almost 4 minutes.

edit:
I went back and looked, it was in frame for 5 seconds. So 3 x 5 x 25 = 375 seconds or over 6 minutes of real time
 
What Bufface said... definitely an aircraft. But nice hyperlapse of the sun

Saying like that it seems you are right. Hm so let suppose that there is no a single cloud, this is a good way to imitate falling stars. Thank you for your notes Buffance, man always learn. Will wait for real falling star :) ( i know the chance is zero and camera is not able to catch it)...safe flying...
