Location114 Â Â 10 #3 Posted April 21, 2012 I was once drunk at my Inlaws house and said "oh look a shooting star" and was laughed at as it was just that thing where a plane goes past and leaves like a streak in the air. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
HeadingNorth   11 #4 Posted April 22, 2012 I thought they were called the Leonids...  The Leonids appear in November; this is a different swarm. There are a few regular swarms; outside of those, you can still see meteors but they're far less common and you might have to watch the sky for an hour before spotting one.
