So all I saw were low level clouds 'n fog.

It's an urban area, though, with plenty of trees and streetlights, and I wasn't very patient

.. It was a beautiful calm night at Falls Lake and I was serenaded by a Chuck Will's Widow the entire time. Also got to see the herds of deer that manage our neighborhood!

I stayed outside for 30 minutes and saw one meteorite heading in a northeasterly direction. I went back inside when I developed a crick in my neck.

saw 3. What a big disappointment!

When you stare at the dark sky for that long, you're never certain that you see what you're think you're seeing or that it's just a tracer on your retina from a star in the peripheral vision. We have too much ambient light here anyway...but I really would have liked to see a hail of meteors.

One night about 20 years ago I awakened with the usual business anxieties and was staring out my window and there was this gigantic green flash which lit up the entire night sky. It lasted about 2 seconds and then flicked off. I assumed that it was a large meteor which exploded high above the Earth. My condo at the time overlooked Philly and I could see about twenty miles or so from the window. The entire landscape had been lit up like someone turned on the lights. Amazing...it was not lightning - it was way too far-reaching.

I'm having some trouble with my eyesight as are the other people I viewed the colorful meteors with.

I think I hear some kind of noise outside my window right now which sounds like a plant moving about....... wait ......... quiet........ Oh dear god
it sounds like its eating something.........

it has the same effect ..... first blindness then you are consumed and your brain is eaten alive.

I had everything set up, including some blankets (it was quite cold last night), then waited... and waited... and waited. Took breaks to have hot coffee. Came back, waited... and waited... and waited. Rinse, repeat. Till about 4 a.m.

Nothin'.

There was nothing. Depending on where you are at on the earth there are actually meteor 'showers' every night. When I was in Tibet at 18,000 feet and zero artificial light at night you could see spectacular shows every-night in the sky.

Only Republican PlutoCraps got to see them. Why do Republicans hate human beings and shooting stars?
