Bright lunar and a meteor

Look at the flaring portion. Which direction do you think the meteor travelled from?  Top to bottom or bottom to top?  For this one the flaring occurs 1/3 of the flight and is travelling from top to bottom!

Wat's that star in the western horizon?

Venus

 International Space Station ISS ( karya) sailing pass Orion ( a series of dots near bottom) and entering earth shadow shortly after.
