So i was looking pointing and saying about the great orion nebula when i saw a bright flash, im talking Canopus bright and say about the same size as Canopus if that for 1 second or so. Did i see a meteor???
Brendan, do you have a time?
My guess is sat or direct meteor if early enough. Irrid's usually close to sunset so later only a meteor.
