The first one last night startled me a bit as it was very bright and fast. I noticed others and figured out it was the Perseids shower. Not much light pollution as I'm not only in Michigan but the "thumb" which is stuck out into Saginaw Bay and Lake Huron. No lights at all from the lake and the lack of population keeps smaller sources down. If I stand on the north side of my garage there are no yard lights in sight so my eyes can adjust to the moonlight. Friends from the city have remarked they have never seen the Milky Way before which appears as a band on light splitting the sky. Of course the constellation Lyra from which my screen name came from is there. After I took the screen name I learned it is the source of an ancient explosion so powerful modern science can't explain what made that big of a boom. Some legends claim Lyra is the home system of the humanoid races that later populated much of the galaxy including our system. LOL!... we might all be Lyrians. Peace bro... : ) lyra

I just went out to walk the dog and I forgot to look. I'd like to go back out but at the end of the day don't want to go up and down the porch steps. Guess I could go stand on the porch though, and see if I see any.

Lol, I'd better to fix that right now. Thanks for letting me know. Diane, 70 is the new 50! Still can date if you want to. Make a wish when you see the shooting stars, a wonderful guy might show up by daybreak. :-) I can't fix it under the title, there is no edit. So sorry.

This is a confirmed meteor sighting, which fell over Ontario (in Dec. 2017) and was captured on the dashboard cameras of many drivers. It was also seen by countless people who happened to be outside and reported that something very bright, just fell from the sky. I never would have thought that a falling meteor would be so visible, on such a sunny day. It would have been even more amazing to see, if it had fallen at night in a rural area! https://northernontario.ctvnews.ca/video?clipId=357415
