This is what I get for not checking the meteor camera every morning. According to the American Meteor Association web page there were 39 reports of a Wednesday morning fireball at the same time my camera recorded this object. We can safely assume this is the same event (#185-2023).

My camera recorded this starting at 0411. I haven’t heard any report on the suspected identity of the object but, my guess would be space junk, but that is just a guess.

UPDATE: I was just advised that this was the recent SpaceX Dragon capsule (mission CRS-26) returning from the ISS on its way to a splashdown off the coast of Tampa. The timing lines up so I am willing to accept the ID.
