Just got in. It's 4:43 a.m. here and I saw a butt load of meteors. Two large fireballs (very exciting), and one OH-MY-GOD-SOMETHING-IS-IN-THE-BUSHES moment. Turned out to be my stupid ugly ass dog. I was armed with a lantern and a tequila bottle. The dog was nearly bludgeoned to death by Jose Cuervo Especial Gold (hecho en Mexico). The cat egged it on. She never liked that dog.
Anyway, fun night.

That's too bad. Things really started picking up around 3 a.m.

I was out of it by midnight ... bowl of White Widow bubble did stuff to my vision.
But this morning just before 8am there was a hellacious thud. i thought something heavy had hit the house. But there was a rumble after that, traveling from west to east, suggesting a sonic boom. Fireball? Come to think of it, minutes earlier there was a flash of light through the blinds, from halfway up the sky but to the north, where the sun ain't. I didn't see a likely smoke trail though, so who really knows? cn
<edit> Oooo! Found this.

Oh you just know I'm KICKING myself for not getting up to look after that odd glint.Cn, that is very cool.

Four years ago, I lived in a different house which had south-facing windows. It was August; Perseid season. I saw a very bright light come through the blinds and thought "oh, someone is using high beams on Demented Sniper Canyon Road." I frequently had that happen. But this one looked and felt different, and then too i thought "hmmm, fireball, maybe". Next day it was in the papers and at the correct time, too. That's twice now!!
