Our Oculus camera caught this bright meteor early this morning just before dawn. This might be considered a "fireball" as it appears to be brighter than any celestial object aside from the sun and moon!
This may be an early Orionid that are active every year in October, usually peaking around October 20/21. At its peak, up to 20 meteors are visible every hour.
They are the second meteor shower of the month—the Draconids usually peak around October 7 or 8.
