I did not visually see the meteor. I had cameras running all night and found the fireball in still frames upon review. Magnitude estimate was based on video compared to Venus with similar settings. The image exposure ended before the brightest part of the meteor. The video is better to assess the event. Video was captured using a Sony A7s III and a Sigma 85mm f/1.4 lens. 1/60sec exposure at f/1.4 and ISO 128,000
