Meteor Shower 1

I saw this in the morning, I was up trying to image the Moon in 140*F heat without much luck, my hat is off to you Texas/warm climate imagers. The first one I saw was with the naked eye.

The trail was a dark orange color, there was no visible head, there was no smoke trial afterwards, it zipped by at around 60,000kps “estimated” 6 x faster than a satellite, and then dissipated to nothing after travelling half the sky in a blink from South to North.

The second one I caught by fluke in a random snap of the Canon 5d mkii. And the moon is almost full.

Not sure if it is part of the Delta Aquarid Meteor Shower?
