Anyone else still up looking for the Lenoid meteor shower?

Supposed to be visible for another two hours or so. Just went out and I think I saw one, but I'm not entirely sure what a shooting star is supposed to look like. I doubt the ones they use in TV shows are actually what they look like lol.

Anyhow, it was a faint light that flickered through the sky for half a second so I went ahead and made a wish for the sake of it.



I have the feeling I just wished upon an airplane though.

I'm pretty sure if you "think" you saw a shooting star, then you probably wished on an airplane. It's pretty much completely obvious when you see one. It looks like a star quickly drawing a line through the sky and then the whole thing disappears.

I saw two. I only watched for about a half hour, though. We're going back out tonight.

I saw a few shooting stars a couple of months ago.. and i never see them.

One was so bright it lit up my whole back yard for 15 seconds. I turned around at it must have been heading in my direction as there was no tail. It was VERY bright and kinda freaky. I was glad to see it fizzle out lol.
