meteor showers
 

Peak was the other night, but tonight will be the next best chance since its been overcast and cloudy since......

I was out there while you were writing this. I had no idea it was a "special" event.

I was one of the best shows I've seen in the past few years. The first one was very early as it streaked through a faded sunset, then it was one every few minutes for the rest of the night.

Watched it last night while fishing the surf, made the action even better.

craziest meteor/'shooting star' i saw this morning...was just after first light and this thing went nearly across the span of the sky turning red and green before petering out...totally cool to see although for a moment i thought we were under attack...

I saw same one this morn while I was at canal. Cool colors. Made me wonder what it was.

One of my favorites was during the Leonid while sitting on the wall at Brant Rock 10+ years ago.
It was a crystal clear sky, and although they weren't too numerous there were a few that lit up the sky. The one that stood out in my mind was a "fireworks" special. It hit the atmosphere at an odd angle and literally exploded into a fountain like sparkle. It didn't "shoot" acroos the sky, it just dropped like a big sparkler.

For me fishing at night just isn't complete if I don't see at least one shooting star. It's like an exclamation point on the entire trip.

this thing this morning was something I had never seen before. the colors were crazy and the way it burned up and lasted was really cool and it was also pretty light out too. During the season I do a lot of all nighters in the boat and watching the stars while trolling is something I look forward too and have seen many sights but this one was something special.

Yes, this was nothing I have ever seen before...even better that just as I was fully digesting what I just witnessed a decent fish crushed the needle I was retrieving...!
