Dion, First - that's a great photo. I don't think we saw the same meteor. The one I saw covered about 90 degrees of the sky, very high, maybe 60 -70 degrees above my western horizon, and looked to be going from north to south, like it was following a line of longitude. It might have been closer to 9:45 PM. This thing was _bright_, close to what I'd be tempted to call a fireball. What was really memorable about it was how much of the sky it covered and its tremendous speed.

Seth The meteor I saw fits that description. It came across around 9:28. The ISS pass that appears in the photo was this one: http://www.heavens-above.com/PassDetails.asp?lat=40.5306505690571&lng=-111.8...

I might have seen the same one, if your post was made shortly after seeing it. The one I saw (from East Millcreek) was moving from north to south, and a bit west of me. Extremely bright, it traversed almost the entire visible sky, and was _fast_. Perseids are known to be fast meteors, something along the lines of 100,000 mph.

I just saw something cool and quite bright headed south from my house in Sandy. Meteor? Anyone else see it? I have a photo of it! I caught it in the same frame as the ISS which was passing overhead just then. I'll upload in a few minutes. I just wanted to check with the group in case I'm going to be rich and famous.
