Meteor last night

Spend some time at night star gazing and you'll see them quite frequently. I see them all the time. It really is common.
 
So that's what it was. I was on my roof just having a smoke and I saw it out of the corner of my eye. Based on the directions and time that you gave it makes sense. And here I thought I got my cigarettes mixed up. :D
 
Question when you guys see a shooting star do you make a wish?

I admit it I do. But I also admit that I'm a sentimental sap.
 
The best place I have been to see "shooting stars", on a clear night is about a year ago, when I stopped to take a piss in the middle of the night between Electric City & Coolee City in Washington, just south of Steamboat Rock State Park... It is almost desert there.. the air is very dry, with no light pollution (city or streetlight).. Until I had stopped there and looked up, I had no idea that there are so many stars up there!
