Last night, at about 1 AM here in Flagstaff, I was going from my rental to my house and I saw a flash on the horizon. There were no clouds, and the sky was perfectly clear, and I wondered what that flash was. I looked up into the sky, and then I saw three bright meteors, one after the other over the span of 2 seconds.
They were as bright as Jupiter, which was high up, mid transit in the sky. Blue white in color they left no persistent train and were very fast, lasting maybe 1/2 th second duration, traveling 10 to 15 degrees each.
I was quite amazed, as it seemed for an instant that a great meteor storm was brewing. The initial flash that caused me to look up and the three after spanning maybe 4 seconds and to see 4 meteors...
I stayed out for another half hour hoping... But nothing more...
Anyone else see something like that last night?
