Seen a few meteors in my life I am 59 this was very straight and didn't seem to be moving away just coming straight down like a flare not moving right to left or going away or coming closer ! Very very different than what I see on video that was taken from Fort Saskatchewan ! This meteor didn't seem tone moving just seemed coming straight down !
