I was driving on a busy highway so I don’t recall the exact location and did my best to guess. I was also in a bortle 6 suburb so it’s likely I only saw the meteor explode as it only covered around 10-15 degrees of view. This is also possibly why it only appeared as white flashes and with a very short tail to me. Also I do started doing amateur astrophotography this summer (mostly deep space) but have only seen a few meteor showers.
