Several people reported the meteor on the American Meteor Society's website. There was no sound associated with the meteor. It is unknown if the meteor is associated with the Delta Aquarid meteor shower that peaks on July 30. Typically the Delta Aquarids produce about 10 meteors an hour.
@emilyannfitz saw it as well from Queen & Bathurst area in Toronto. Was huge w a purple glow. #toronto #meteor
