I put up camera on tripod in front of house friday april 21st around 04:30 AM and let camera run in 4K video timelapse mode till dawn, shooting towards the SW so Vega/Lyra is not visible but just near the upper rim of the frame , caught many satellites of course and a few airplanes, too ... and looking at the timelapse video frame by frame I saw that I caught at least 2 meteors, and tracing them back they appear from where Lyra is ( high up behind me ). Also caught a very bright event on extreme left side that looked at first glance like it might be a Lyrid bollide but as I go frame by frame it appears cleaerly on several frames so it must be an extremely bright satellite flare. Camera Canon EOS R6, Fisheye Lens 7artisans RF 10mm 2.8 .
