I fell for this and stayed up late last night and into the early morning. Didn’t see ONE meteor which is unusual for Arizona. LOL! These “scientists” need to stick to telling us about how bad “global warming” is going to be.
I was watching the video right up until the starting time.
I fell asleep about 30 minutes into the max, without seeing even one shooting star.
Granted that was via the internet view, but what a less than exciting event.
I dunno, but for some reason "cameltoe" comes to mind ...
I was going to look, but it was too cloudy here.
I am glad that the skies were overcast in the Denver area. Every time they hype the biggest and best-est ever it’s always a bust.
My husband and I, (Phx, AZ) went out at about 10:20pm, they said we’d be able to see it about 10:30. I figure shooting stars show up fashionably early.
They touted this event in the news several times as going to be big big big...
Stayed out there on our lawn chairs till about midnight, drank champagne. That was the only event of the eve.
Not ONE sighting.
Cloud Out ,here
The only thing I got out of watching the sky last night is a sore neck.
I sat out at 3AM for over an hour. Nice clear skies.
Saw 3.
Best ever display was(years ago)viewing the Perseid meteor shower out in the Mojave desert.
Last night was like waiting for The Great Pumpkin : )
Figured as much. I was going to try to stay up, but decided on bed instead. Looks like I made the right choice.
I counted about 10/hour from 1-3am, and went to sleep.
Listening to the meteor radar this morning about 1 hour after sunrise there were hundreds of pings per hour till about 11am.
So, the forecast was early. Might be worth a look tonight from sunset on.
Settled science.

Nothing on the Big Island, and it was a beautiful, star-studded night.
“Meteor showers are like the weather. They are a little bit hard to predict,” said Paul Wiegert, associate professor at the University of Western Ontario.
What? The Global Warmists can predict things a century in advance.
We had cloudy, overcast skies with rain showers, so there was nothing for us to miss. I’d rather have the rain. However, I was going to set up the telescope to watch meteorites hitting the moon.
The shower actually happened, but on the alternate Earth that has been warming the last 15 years.
