I commented to the neighbor that I was chatting with that I just saw a meteor behind her while we were chatting in our driveway. It was perfectly aligned in the sprucing between her home and the house in front of her home. Homes blocked the horizon but I saw the long tail of the meteor and it’s head falling and then the flashpoint. My second confirmed lifetime meteor, yay! Just hope that my timing on the meteor is spot on.
