Very bright meteor fireball 28th July 2021

Is it too early for a Perseids, 28th July 02:42 caught on the incidental all sky camera. 

Captured on a single 25 second frame in a tiny gap in the clouds, when I work out where it was I will log it on UKMON.

I saw a very bright one the other night when I was out imaging. It was silvery, and not greenish like the other bright ones I have seen. It reminded me of a fishing lure being spun through the water, as if it was tumbling. Heading North to South and about 30 deg above the horizon. I saw it for 2 to 3 seconds before it went behind some houses.

That's interesting. I got nothing at that time (03:42 in Spain) but I did get this, at 03:44:33. A couple of minutes later.

Just approaching Cygnus, Vega to the right and Altair right and lower.
Recorded on a Pi-zero + 8MPix Pi-cam 10 second exposure.

That's interesting but the star next to my capture is Cappella 25° so don't look to be the same one.

No, plus I don't have any idea which direction it was headed in. The meteor only appeared in one frame. Capella is outside the FoV of my camera at that time of night

It's looking good for the Moon to not need in the way for the peak.

Nice capture!  Given where the Perseid radiant is at the beginning of the "season", and looking at the orientation compared to Capella and The Kids, I'd say it's likely to be a Perseid.  Definitely not too early.

Nicely caught considering the cloud cover. A cracker too!
