Wispy,

Had you seen meteors yourself?

Last weekend sight was my third, i think, it was not particullary interesting/amazing, it just goes for some seconds, less than a minute. It was not too much larger than more frequent small meteors/ meteor falls of which i had seen quite more before. But it was different of course.

Once i saw a large meteor falling in the horizon, while dawn. The sun was almost uncovered by the mountains and then we saw a large orange and redish object with a long tail. The tail most had been about 100 kms at least. Later it was announced that pieces of the meteorite were collected from an area of about 1,000 square kms over some mountain ranges. That was the most amazing i had witnessed.
