The Perseids are supposed to peak on the 11th.
It appears that this is a little late, but tonight should still be good.

I wasn’t aware of this event, but the other night while laying in the grass late at night, I saw the biggest “fireball” I’ve seen in a long time. It almost seemed to fall in slow motion.

Space.com has put together a helpful chart called "Windows of Dark Sky Viewing Opportunities for August 8, 9, and 10" that maps out the best times for Perseid meteor gazing in 12 U.S. cities, including Boston, Miami, Albuquerque and Seattle. Here in Los Angeles we've got a window tonight from 2:07 a.m. until 4:36 a.m. On Aug. 10, the window shrinks by an hour from 3:07 a.m. and by Aug. 11, it shrinks again to just 30 minutes — from 4:08 a.m.to 4:38 a.m..

Does it matter which part of the country you live in? I would like to see them if I can.

Several years ago, I and fam decided to take in a meteor shower from lawn chairs on the front yard.......after about 30-45 minutes I was the only one left who wasn't bored and found something else to do...........
Suddenly, out of the north came a florescent green object, a light green streak trailing behind. As best I could tell, it was the size of a 1990s cell phone or smaller, about 35 feet off the ground and going about 60 plus miles per hour.............
It was making cracking and popping sounds as it flew within 15 yards from where I was sitting.........I didn't hear it hit anything, so it must have gone quite a ways more and hit on someone else's property........
