[meteorite-list] Perseids.

[Michael Murray]

We had clear skies here in southwest CO.  I was out watching starting  
at about 9 PM.  Saw an eyepopper of a meteor at about 9:15.  Long  
tail, orange tint to it.  I'm certainly no expert on meteors but sure  
looked to me like this one made it into dark flight.  I've seen a  
daytime fireball and watched the big one that went over to California  
a while back at night but the first one I saw last night was by far  
more spectacular to see.   Last night, I also watched several that  
were multiple pieces of 3 or more traveling side by side.   They went  
pretty much directly overhead going north to south.  For the last few  
years we had clouds during the Persieds.  Nice to finally get to watch  
some of the shower.
