Never seen them in my life so i’m kinda exstatic – had 2 cans of red bull so I’m able to stay up all nite ^^

I’m in central London UK. In five minutes of looking up between buildings and getting a stiff neck I’ve seen only two streaks of light, both bright and long. About midnight to midnight thirty.One was directly overhead and the other was on the northern horizon. I also noted a lot of airplanes out tonight

yeah i saw a few. all different directions and areas of the sky. just look up. about 1 every two mins.

i havent seen s**t tonight

I’ve been out between about 11pm and 3.30am and have spotted around 80 meteors, give or take a few when I was looking the other way! There seemed to be big gaps of up to twenty minutes, then sometimes several coming within a couple of minutes, including a spectactular double trail of two bright meteors parallel to each other. Incredible that before tonight I had never seen a single ‘shooting star’ – well worth the cold and the long waits!

I’m up in the Yukon Territory, and heard that we might be in for a Good Show being way up North. Hopefully the Northern Lights will be out too.

We are in Ontario, CAnada Sioux narrows and we same a few streaks..going to take abreak and come back at 3:00a

Was out until midnight tonight (Aug 12), and saw 4 or 5 meteors…a cloud bank rolled in here (KC, MO)and that was the end of our viewing!

i’m down here in miami and i went out at around 3am (eastern) till around 3:40am and i didnt see a single meteor…hopefully later on i will, i heard it’s better up in north.

hello,i’m a boat captain in the gulf of mexico and for the past few nights between 12am-3am i have been seeing two to three shooting stars.the very first one we had saw was awesome;it was a white light and it shot across the sky it blew up and lit up my wheelhouse and also the water;it also left a trail in the sky for like a couple of minutes.i’m hoping to see alot more activity tonite.i can’t wait for the 27th of august;thats gonna be the s**t!!

If you look towards the constellation of Perseus, you stand a decent chance of seeing even isolated meteorites. Look it up on a star map on the web or something if you cannot recognise Perseus.

i saw what might of been a meteor on Saturday,i don’t know but it was big and seemed pretty low but it was green and had a big streak. it burned out quick.

Hey!! PPL nice out eh??? Well my friends and i have been laying on a trampoline under the stars(r there ever LOTS)…anywho we saw several of’em with pretty big and long tails and they look awesome. 1 more thing, we seen a few small things move across the sky that looks like stars:P It could be satellites. Unno!!:D

If they move slowly, they’re satellites.
If they move slowly and flash, they’re aeroplanes.

thats too bad that most of the time we cannot locate exactly where most of the unburned meteorites did fall….. its so great to find and own a celestial rock
