Did anyone see the cool meteors this evening (about 4PST)?!?

No, looked for them the first night and nothing, must of been the light pollution. The next day it was cloudy, o well at least I've seen a comet or some kind of speeding rock around 1977.

Anyplace not cloudy and that does not have too many bright lights will do. Just look anywhere in the sky. The meteors can appear anywhere in the sky. Look after midnight though, because the radiant won't rise until then. The later at night you look, the better. 4:00 AM would be the best time to look.\n\nThe predictions are not that good this year. A few years ago I saw 50 bright ones per hour. This year they are predicting 10 or 15 per hour, and maybe not bright ones either. Also, the peak time is before the radiant rises in the US, so Europe will see the best show. If the predictions are correct.

It is 85 and sunny here.  It was really muggy and cloudy earlier today though.  =)

Yes, I did. I was sitting in my garden watching the sky, but not for the ISS. I saw it by coincidence. It looks like a bright star (or a highly illuminated plane), moving very fast. In 30 min - 1h it cross the entire night sky, disappears over the horizon, then reappears in 30 min - 1h almost diametrical. I`m from Romania 44 degrees 59` 38`` lat N and 25 degrees 44` 34`` long E. I have no idea how or if can be seen from others places. If you can, watch it just once how it crosses the sky. It`s beautiful. And knowing that human kind put it there give you a great sentiment.

Yes..I have seen numerous things both day and night..A massive object perhaps the size of a football field..with a smooth surface squared on all corners it was very massive and overwhelming..\nI have have witnessed a silver disc object above me in mid afternoon while fishing on my boat in the middle of the lake..it shot straight up into the sky with instant speed. Speed that we dont have here. \nAn elongated diamond light at night that turned out to have the intensity of a very bright spotlight...then dimmed again..and shot off up into the sky..with incredible speed as I had seen before with the silver disc..\nOrange glowing spheres in early evening...\nbackwards "c" shaped object in the daylight...\nthe list goes on..but..Yeah..I have seen many...Each time something does happen..it is like a new concept..it seems to keep opening the mind more and more.

Call newschannel 3, I bet they would look into it.  Royal Norman may even already have an answer.  I have not seen them, though I live very close to you.  I'll have to keep my eye on the SE sky.  Do they occur at a certain time, or various times?  Are they low to the horizon?

Maybe not right now, but it should be visible in the northern sky with binoculars over the next few weeks. It's in the constellation Corona Borealis, which puts it north of Jupiter. Jupiter is rising in the sky just before 10pm at the moment. \n\nIt's moving towards the Northern Triangle - close to Vega in Cygnus around May 7/8 and then below Deneb around May 12, and that, apparently, is it's closest pass to Earth. It may brighten to mag 5 or even mag 4 at this time, so you might even be able to see it without binoculars! Fingers crossed!\n\nIf you want to look, try to find a fuzzy indistinct object in your binoculars. That's the best giveway. Sometimes comets don't show a tail. \n\nThe following web-link is very useful I think. I will be out looking during the next few nights myself.

If you mean the Leonids, you've missed the peak which was at the weekend.\n\nFor more info, try any one of the thousands of astronomy websites, eg Jodrell Bank Observatory, etc\n\nSkymaps.com is a good one - they'll send you a monthly email with a link to the night sky for that month (north & south hemispheres), with a list of events to look out for.

the meteors last all night starting around 11pm and endin at about 6am...but the peak of the meteor showers is what you want to see with the leonids...the peak starts around 11:45pm-midnight and last 2 hours...find a good spot, supposed to be a great show with hundreds of meteors if you catch it in a good enough spot

i think you will be more luckier nov 19 11:54 pm you see 100 meteors per hour dark skies to be

What I am about to tell you is fact i don't care weather or not you believe it i just wanted to share it with others.  \n\nComing out of wallmart, I had bought signs cause I am a huge ufo buff.  well as i was getting into the car and telling ym mom about th emovie we see a bright light in the sky and it just screams off to the right fster then anything could possablely move.  i am talking this thing was in open sky high above us and in 2 second went from over head to the horizon, at least 20 to 25 thousand miles per hour maybe more.  We were both shaken for a minute then decided to watch signs a few weeks after.\n\nBiggest coincidence I have ever had

On 25th June 2006 at 05:07:26 am, exactly IST, look in the SW skies about 60 degrees. It helps if you get your watch to exactly IST from an internet time server or something. You will see a very bright flash of light.(Trust me this will really happen.)\n\nIf this looks anything like one of ur "UFO" sightings then it wasnt a UFO but sunlight reflecting off the solar panels of a Satellite.

Ball lightning?  Was it anything like this:\n\nhttp://www.metacafe.com/watch/131601/ufo_in_xinjiang_of_china/\n\nMe and a friend saw something like this back in February.  My friend was staring directly out the window, thinking about Asian chicks, when it popped out of the clouds right in front of his eyes.  It was a bright ball, had whispy filaments all over it, and when it "popped" it went out with a big double-strobe-flash.  I saw it out of the corner of my eye and when I turned to focus on it, it flashed out and filled the car with a bright, blue light.  It was strong enough to make my friend go "AaaAarGghhH!"\n\nIf you want to get crazy with it, I think this is what our ancient ancestors meant when they said the stars would fall from the Heavens.  Imagine a whole lot of ball lightning raining down on your city.  That'd be some shit to see right there.  Read some of my questions and best answers.

Just been watching sky sports, they say it is going to clear up tomorrow. Still going to be cloudy with some rain. But they should get more play than today. The weathermen have been wrong before. I would say GO, i could be a good day out anyway. Sitting around drinking from 10 in the morning talking to the other spectators.

i just received email about it, so i'll just copy and paste it... \n\nEarth is about to pass through the dusty tail of Comet Thatcher, and this will cause the annual Lyrid meteor shower. Forecasters expect the shower to peak on April 22nd, producing about 10 meteors per hour--modest, but pretty.  The best time to look is during the hours before sunrise on Saturday morning.  Go to a dark site away from city lights, if possible.\n\nThe Moon will also encounter the comet's tail on April 22nd, which raises an interesting possibility: Amateur astronomers may be able to spot flashes of light on the Moon when comet debris hits the lunar surface and explodes. All that's required is a backyard telescope and lots of patience.\n\nNote: This is a Northern Hemisphere shower.  South of the equator, observers will see very few Lyrids.  Southerners are, however, in an excellent position to observe Lyrid impacts on the Moon.  The Moon rises high in southern skies on April 22nd, in plain view of backyard telescopes.\n\nyou can visit the link below for observing tips and sky maps
