Did anyone see the shooting star tonight?

of course not. Houston is too polluted to see the sky, or there are too many lights to see anything.

 

Was this at about 8:50? My daughters and I were on HWY 6, and it is clear for a long stretch from Clay to HWY6, so clear that they said: "OMG! A shooting star! I call it!" I says to them: "uh, no... that was a plane... " "NO, DAD... it WAS!" I gotta ask them which way it went.

Nice call p.

 

i was outside at 6pm today. i didnt see anything.


what makes you think it was a shoot star?

are we going to experience a meteor shower tonight?

 

Your first post was a PESSIMIST "of course not" and "Houston is too polluted"... now you're saying you were outside and "didn't see anything". What's next?

 

It was only visible in the 713

 

My daughters are 281ers and 774xx'ers, and they saw it. WATCHU TALKIN'BOUT, WILLIS?

 

I saw AI vs the Rockets tonight.

 

.zing

 

Considering pgabriel said he saw it at around 6, while you're daughters saw something at almost 9, I'm going to go out on a limb and say you both saw two different things.

 

I didn't see anything because there was too much light outside.


Light Pollution.

 

MR. MEOWGI said it was the second coming of evolution.

 

I want mr meowgi takes on this NOW.


start purring.


or is that start kung fu-ing.

 

What color was it?

I thought I saw something, but ignored it.

 

I saw it. It was a Russian MiG.

 

my daughter and i saw. don't know the exact time but you could still sunlight on the western horizon. so it was probably around 5:45-6pm. it was moving south to north or possibly southeast to northwest. pretty cool.

 

btw we are in north montgomery county in a somewhat rural area so no light pollution for us

 

Cloverfield

 

I'm not russian.

 

I've been seeing streaks of light for 40 years. How do you tell the difference??
