Bright Bolide During The Perseid Meteor Shower on August 14, 2013 at 12:47AM CDT. Video taken with an Orion AllSky video camera mounted on the rail of my deck. It has a 170 degree view of the sky. The camera was set to "meteor detection mode" where it only records when it sees motion in the field of view. Therefore the video is only a few seconds long. You will need to loop the video to see it well.
