About 5 years ago i saw 16 one night most of the one's i see go down to the north east all different colours they are one of the reward's of living where there is no light polution .
Tonight's was the first i have seen for a couple of month's ....jacob

Our house backs onto fields and we don`t have alot of light polution but I`ve never seen one. I think I might start looking out more.

You have to be quick they only last about 2 second's....jacob

It's one of the pleasures of dog walking at night - but I've only ever seen white ones - they must change colour when they cross county borders!

I've seen a few, mostly caught in the corner of my eye. I was walking home from the pub when I saw one the first time and did question if I was seeing things!! Have seen a couple sober too. Never colours, always white for me.

lucky you

Despite living out in the sticks with no light pollution & gazing at the sky often until my late teens,I saw my first shooting star in my mid twenties on a camping trip...I got so excited!I've seen several since,but never coloured...You on the hard stuff Jacob??

Thats funny, i was taking photos of a strange star last night all the way down here!!! Mine wasnt really shooting, more flashing and moving about, red, green, white....it was something else i can tell yah BUT it was almost impossible to photograph!

August 2007 I was staying with mum and dad in Cyprus when the Perseids meteor shower was happened - 'the most spectacular sight for years' with a shooting star 'every few seconds'. Low light pollution and 'anywhere in the Med' was supposed to be 'ideal' - I lay on my back all night on the terrace and saw 1

I have seen a few whilst walking in the Scottish borders.

I've seen quite a few Jacob but sorry I missed the one you saw the other night.
