Reports Report 7540iu (Event 7540-2021)

Observer
Name Connor M
Experience Level 4/5
Remarks I was watching the SpaceX Crew 3 launch at the time. The meteor appeared just below the level of the Dragon vehicle in my FoV at t+8:52 in flight. I thought it was something going terribly wrong with the rocket but it was in the wrong direction to be the Dragon vehicle and far too far northeast from Canaveral to be the Falcon booster returning. And it only was lit for about 3 seconds so. The picture I attached was the very beginning of the streak, unfortunately the camera was set on long-exposure and didn’t get the full thing.
