Meteorite Shower - Look Outside!

[Kylo]

Fellow Members,

A LOT of Facebook statuses on about the meteorite shower we are currently having, decided to make a thread to discuss the amazing views you can see over the next few days.

Now, the area of this meteorite shower is unknown, but I know a girl in Wales who can see loads of 'Shooting stars' which are actually meteorites entering our atmosphere.. So take a look outside, and check for what looks like bright stars, flickering stars or maybe what could seem to be a 'shooting star'.

Apparently the best time to view the sky is at 2AM this morning, so if your having a late one, take the opportunity to sit outside..

View, Discuss, Enjoy! :wub:

North east is cloudy as usual :|

I'd say close to London would be the best place to see them..

As i'm in South East England (Buckinghamshire) and the sky has tons of stars, not to mention the odd shooting or flicker, amazing sights down here!

Mm, Wales might be good too see some, Scotland is too cloudy, I guess South England is the perfect place, i'll try and grab some pictures in a bit and show you guys, some amazing sights! :wub:
