This looks like a meteor, but is it a Perseid meteor? All Perseid meteors shall come from a single point,
the Perseus constellation.
Look at the time lapse video below if you can see the direction.
The lens is of fisheye construction and then have strong distorsion which make it difficult to see the real direction.

This meteor I saw also by the naked eye, very strong and only partly above the horizon.

Notice how much darker the back ground sky have been now, something that I never can see in Stockholm where I live.

This meteor comes from the Perseus constellation head on to us.
The triangular form of the point is partly because of the lens imperfection at the edges of the field.
