I am very interested in this and also occasionally / casually observe with my celestron 10 in aperture but this was a naked eye observation while walking dogs with my son. Please let me know what this is. Thank you!

Remarks
The event started left to right under the moon and was bright white; the initial single object broke in to 3 that I witnessed which also continued travelling right ward and down ward in reference to moon. Very nice. I have not seen a shooting start in 30 years so very very nice!
