I happened to be looking in the right place at the right time once and saw one as it traced across the sky. It was larger than usual, visible for perhaps a half second. It was spinning; its brightness changed rapidly and periodically. This happened thirty years ago.
Lucky sighting. I used to camp out every August 12th and watch the Perseids. There’s supposed to be 1 meteor every minute but in reality you see about half that. So I must have seen well over 100 meteors. I’ve seen a couple fireballs, one during the day, 3 meteors falling in formation, and a Russian satellite burning up on reentry. I thought it was a UFO at first.
