Just before its appearance I had been videoing a scene from my balcony of trains passing then panning upward to include a view of Jupiter and The Moon. I had ended the video recording and switched my cmera off .... I looked up just to glance at Jupiter ... several seconds later the meteor appeared ... in between Jupiter and Moon. I was very upset .. if only i had left the camera running for an extra 10 seconds!!!! :( (I have made a photo composite using a different meteor pasted onto a photo extracted from the video I took to show what I saw to friends on facebook ... shows exact position and size of the object}
