   i saw quite a few meteors tonight and am hoping to see some more . most of which have been south of the north star (if that makes sense).

   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

    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.

    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.

    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
