Terry Cai sent CTV News Ottawa camera footage of an object traveling across the sky at 10:06 am. on Sunday morning. Cai was driving along Moodie Drive near Hunt Club Road when his dash cam captured the object. A Bell Media employee reported seeing a meteor around the same time, saying it looked like “a shooting star, but it had a red/orange/yellow tail.” One person on Twitter reported seeing a small meteor while looking northwest toward Gatineau. The professor of the University of St. Thacker adds that the meteor is likely part of the Southern Delta Aquariids meteor shower, which peaked this weekend. NASA says the meteors can be seen coming from the direction of the constellation Aquarius and the area best seen in the southern hemisphere, as well as the southern latitudes of the northern hemisphere. The Perseid meteor shower will peak in mid-August, considered the best meteor shower of the year, according to NASA. With files from CTV News writer Michael Lee
