So I'm watching the meteor shower. It's impressive I'm enjoying it, saw 25 plus meteors. If the official story is true, why do I see them coming from every different direction? Logically that makes no sense.

If you pour water onto a beach ball, the water runs down all sides. Our atmosphere is the beach ball and we can only see the affects of the meteors changing direction on impact, not them coming in from the same direction.

Wiki actually has listed 112 different meteor showers that the Earth plows through every year. Gotta be stressful in the space station or running satellites up there.

Maybe Earth will get lucky and take a direct hit...

They say a 2000 lb'er at that speed would wipe-out 1/2 too 2/3'erds of earth's living population...

Good times for sure

Was in the pool till 12:30 Saturday night. Only seen 3. Blinked and you would miss them. Seen hundreds of satellites though.

these meteor showers are not much more than dust, but there has been a few bus sized meteors that have passed between the moon and earth!

We had one crash about 7 miles south of my house a few years ago. I just pulled up in front of my house and the sky went from night time to day time and back. My first thought was my power transformer blew up. They found where it landed and recovered some shrapnel

from September 7, we shall get a visit by the green Comet Nishimura, and should peak sept 17th. set of binoculars should give excellent view.

also the meteor shower, the Perseids should be readily seen tonight, as long as the clouds co-operate!
