Details:
Using a starmap I found that This meteor seems to point back to the constellation of Taurus and near where the radiant of the Taurids is located. It was recorded at 11:22pm local time on Oct 20 2020 (Oct 21 2020 at 03:22 UTC) just before the peak of the Orionid meteor shower.
During the peak of the Orionid meteor shower I noticed quite a few were showing up to the west but there were a whole lot more that showed up there the night before the peak. Now, this could be because of passing clouds during the peak of the shower.
