Meteor on steroids -- AZ-- teroids.....

Ya everyone here thinks I am retarded too but I saw what i saw when i saw it. A real big bugger...

It was about 11:10 pm on 8/11/07 --- huge....

That is my story and I am sticking to it --- though I have not found a single person who saw it ---- I mean it only left a trail about 100 miles long ----

Kind of like the fish that got away.... 😀

I went out about 4AM to 4:20 this morning and caught about 13 Meteors (not asteroids)... 2 decent one and the rest real small ---- but it was in about 20 minutes time and then I had to go to work....

I bet it was pretty good show earlier though....😱

I've never been able to see anything of this sort in London 🙁 It never gets properly dark in London. Grrr.

I must have been doing something wrong. Could see stars from my window but nothing ¨shooting¨. Ah well.

Reviving a dead thread but who went out and saw them last night 🙂

 

[0098386]

I had no idea they were returning!
But yes, me and a friend were out on a late night walk and we saw a few shooting stars.

Edunt: My folks on holiday in Poland are sat in the garden watching them. Much too rainy and cloudy here in the UK.
