User ID: 77807763 United States 08/12/2020 12:04 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | We do this every year for the past 6 years. Last year saw a really cool fireball with a persistent train that lingered about 5 seconds before it fully faded. That was a first for us. But this year it’s too cloudy above us. We went out at 11 CST and couldn’t even see stars. We’re going to try again tomorrow night. Careful! They are listening! VP Elect is the way to go. All the perks, none of the responsibility... |

Quoting: Don Draper from Nantucket SwPa here! Thanks for the reminder OP It was pretty good here for awhile, I probably caught about 10-15 and then it went cloudy :( -Armchair General- "No man is entitled to the blessings of freedom unless he be vigilant in its preservation." -General of the Army Douglas MacArthur "I served in all commissioned ranks from Second Lieutenant to Major General and during that period, I spent most of my time being a high-class muscle man for big business, for Wall Street and for the Bankers.

ProfessorDweeb User ID: 79185636 United States 08/12/2020 03:19 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Did anyone else experience lightning like sky flashes this evening? My buddy and I were both observing some 400 miles apart. Both he and I have independently observed very quick flashes of light that lit the sky much like lightning would, but not a cloud in sight. I can only assume there were some extra bright meteors outside of our fields of view? I’ve seen meteors light up the sky before, but never so much like a single frame. Much like a subliminal message maybe? MKultra brought from the skies? I kid, but it was curious. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 38629378 United States 08/15/2020 11:21 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I had an excellent view of the sky and was DISAPPOINTED. Yeah, saw a few. A couple of great ones. Other than that the Perseid meteor shower 2020 was a bust. Anyone else? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78532143 I would agree. Wasn’t nearly as good this year as it was 2 years ago. I had my back to a Perseid fireball 2 years ago that left my shadow on the ground. When I turned around I saw the trail of dust it left behind that took 12-15 secs to disappear. |

Quoting: Abi ~ 2020 is just ruining everything :( I didn't see much either, Pacific Northwest is cloudy on a good day. I did however, spend a nice evening outside 'till the wee hours. I had a marvelous time! Been a lot of years since I camped out in the back yard! So thank you for this thread. I had fun here and afterwards! Lol Do more than expected, take less than allowed. When dealing with a friend, if you aren't getting the short end, you're doing it wrong. Any good Muslim joke starts with a glance over the shoulder. [link to www.youtube.com (secure)] |
