Funny, I was going to post the same thing. It was sorta like that 70's movie " Day of the Trifids" or something like that. Lost count over how many wishes I got, birthday presents, solving world hunger, peace, just to name a few.
They were intense, like bottle rockets on the 4th. Not just in one area of the sky.
The only other time I expereinced anything else like that was out on the vineyard in the mid 90's. So many shooting stars. Way too many to count.
BTW, I was fishing central CT this am when I saw them.

You were singing Disney tunes while you were fishing?

Think about it...we have to source the finest abrasion resistant cashmere and pima cotton, advertise, get wholesale orders in, start manufacturing runs at our Italian plant and deliver product to stores all before the spring run.
To be competitive you must be well ahead of the ball, and trust me, the high fashion surfcasting industry is cutthroat.

The shooting stars were incredible. Some very bright white. An amazing site. Looked almost apocalyptic. I saw some last night as well around 2 am.

Saw one at dusk Friday to the ENE low moving down towards the horizon. Thought I was seeing things.

Back in my astronomy days we used to go out during the peak times and count them, you see a lot more when actually paying attention.
You've gotta love it when one is so big it casts shadows and you can see the trail for moments after.

I almost ran into a channel marker around 4:30 AM this morning as I had my eyes on the skys. Lots of bright white shooting stars has I headed down the Bay.
56 degree water. Marked tons of fish in the deep channels. Water dropped 4 degrees since Thursday. Might be time to pull the boat and get back in the surf.

No boat, back in the suds.

I was at the eastern end of the canal and saw a bunch of them on Sat AM. At first I thought it was just something with my glasses and the lights, but then saw a couple of really bright ones go by - very cool.

Saturday night saw them every time I looked up at the sky ... it was cold but it was cool. This pretty much took place from 8 p.m. to 2:30 a.m.

I was out early saturday morning as well. Windy as heck too, but I wasnt even thinking about it staring at the sky. Lost my balance a few times gazing up and almost ended up in the drink. It took a few hours but I was finally rewarded with a nice keeper.
