Why can't rockets be considered meteors? Even flying horizontally on the moon?

The atmospheric distortion that is seen in the moon image doesn't seem to be impacting the UFO's as much or the same. If they were there, they would exhibit the same visible effects.
Also the shadow lengthening for two of the UFOs are not identical.

Burning? The burning of the entire space craft itself or just of its engine for propulsion?
