This posted just a minute ago on Swedish news. Lot of reports coming in about light phenomena in the skies. "It seems to be some kind of meteor shower" they say

Pinned it...Just saw four biggins explode high in the sky here. This is cutting into our Left 4 Dead 2 zombie killing quality time ffsi.

Hell if people are calling it in it's not your regular shooting stars

The article says someone claimed one of them hit ground.

Perhaps we're passing through a dusty part of the orbit?

While out with coffee in the pre-dawn hours I saw an exceptional 'shooting star' that streaked in an arc nearly 90° across the sky. I thought it curious at the time.

Ah,,,The Orionid Meteor showers! http://earthsky.org/astronomy-essentials...eor-shower

That shooting star I saw this morning shot out of Orion's armpit and went straight to the North star.

Hell if I know. Could be just some space dust burning up spectacularly.

Was burning a bit too spectacularly for my taste. did I just see?

Cloudy here...dammit...you guys get all the fun

Hey I thought you were an angry Swedish girl

Oh tanning mom oh tanning mom... The UV that you take in...

Was the close encounter anniversary 23th one in the morning of a craft and me. So I make it a point to go out and star gaze every year. So I'm star gazing when this huge meteorite whoosh by me out of no where. My heart I almost spat it out. Yeah. Venus rose in the morning and as bright as ever. Another planet was an inch behind it.

They say it was most likely a bolide

Jupiter.

Back 4 years ago in August I was star gazing when I saw this green fireball way far away coming down. Way far away I thought it was till it streaked down a short block away into a neighbors field, smashing and crashing and thudding. I went, wow. That's amazing. It's still there. no one saw it but me. It is on private land so I respect that but this little secret is between you and me only..
