Hmmm, I agree about the lensflare, but I think the curved path, although not
realistic,
makes things a bit more interesting.  And if it's not an asteroid falling down to
earth,
but a spaceship entering our atmosphere (don't forget it's inspired by HE Day's
animation,
where this sort of effect is used for the fighters entering the atmosphere), then the
curved path, imho, looks a lot better than a straight path.
