Just saw one bright slow moving meteor fairly low in the sky. Location is NE Florida. It moved SE to NW though which is the opposite direction they are supposed to be coming from.
03:55 One more viewed, this time from Pole Star through Cassiopeia. |

Observed 1:30 to 3:30 (yup, went home early) from S. Ontario. 5 meteors spotted. One at 1:45 moving east to south west, east of Cass looked blue in colour . Meteor at 2:00 out of east may have been true Camelopardalid.
