Perseid meteors

Best viewed with the black background

I would like to make a case for this being one of the "earthgrazers" stated below. As the time of day was about 2200 PDT US, the center of activity was below the northeast horizon, which I can't see thru the trees, but the direction of travel is about correct. Polar satellite is ruled out for the reason of direction of travel.

""Don’t rule out early evenings As a general rule, the Perseid meteors tend to be few and far between at nightfall and early evening. Yet, if fortune smiles upon you, you could catch an earthgrazer – a looooong, slow, colorful meteor traveling horizontally across the evening sky. Earthgrazer meteors are rare but most exciting and memorable, if you happen to spot one. Perseid earthgrazers can only appear at early to mid-evening, when the radiant point of the shower is close to the horizon."" - http://earthsky.org/astronomy-essentials/everything-you-need-to-know-perseid-meteor-shower

@ladymagpie We had orange sunlight all day yesterday and I thought the viewing would be horrid, but I got lucky. Will try a longer viewing time tonight, if tomorrow's rain stay at sea for a couple hours longer tonight.
