Was out with scope and originally thought it was a plane. It was very bright overhead so I looked again and knew it was a meteor. My phone was running my imaging app and I couldn’t bring up the camera app in time unfortunately.

Was outside with telescope. Saw it breaking up as it got lower in the sky. Glowing train for a few seconds, and then it faded away.
