Did anyone see this last night? We looked for ages and only saw ONE moving slowly. I thought there were going to be hundreds. Gonna have another look tonight but not sure what direction. Last night was East. Anyone know which way to look tonight. Sad I know but I love the stars at night.

PS got really excited when I thought I saw a large one - it was a helicopter LOL

We had it in Jersey Gina., not that I saw it, but the lady that runs my stables, heard one of the horses fidgeting and thought he might have collic. Went outside and she said it was like a load of shooting stars....wonderful...

Not sure what time that was though..

Natasha

Oh brilliant wish I had seen it. Too cloudy tonight for any stars worse luck

Hubby and I went out for a look, lay on the path and got cold and stiff, saw about 6 shooting stars (mainly in the north), hardly a shower though! This was at about 10.20pm.

btw, hate to disappoint, but the 'slow moving ones' aren't shooting stars...They're satellites! :D

Linda & Kaiser

Oh wow first satellite I have seen then .. sad arnt I :D

PS I take it you mean the man made ones cos not sure what a satellite is otherwise ..... looked it up in Thesaurus but not there .. now where's that dictionary

Gina

PS Will have another look tomorrow night too

We saw 3 last night ......and I have ended up with a stiff neck :D

My sister lives in Oxfordshire and saw several on Monday night (THE best night apparantly). We are going to have another go tonight



Melody

Ditto with the three and the stiff neck! I was surprised the ones I saw went in different directions. They were easier to see than I expected being quite bright streaks.
LynnT

Oooh yes , same here Lynn ..about the different directions I mean ...strange isn't it?

Melody

Oh I havent seen one yet - not fair
I am going to have another look tonight and besides a stiff neck on Monday I managed to keep falling sideways almost spilling my wine LOL
Gina x

Gina, are you sure it wasn't just the effect of the wine that made you fall over sideways?!
LynnT

Course not :D :D

And I flipping well forgot to look last night would you believe it !!! :D
