Aww, it's pretty much the peak time for Los Angeles, but thanks to the fog i can't see crap... Hopefully there will be some cool videos to download.

I think we're approaching the peak here, I'm seeing about 6-8 a minute. They're all over the sky, at least they are here, so just scan the whole sky.

I was missing quite a few due to light pollution. Also, it seemed one would always appear where I'm not looking (catch in corner of eye). I did get to see about a dozen though. :)

stupid kids! A group of 15-20 teens were in the local park (the only place for darkness in my area). They have been making a bunch of noise so there was a phone call to the police... the policeman was going to let me stay, but the stupid punks wouldn't leave so the officer advised me to leave lest I get fine or arrested :(. I saw a dozen or so, but I would have been able to see a lot more if I was in the park...

The things they said to the poor officer were just plain mean too... I hate teenagers, and I hated them when I was one... sorry for you cool teens out there, but the majority is making you look bad.

btw, I am only 21...

muc i know your feeling i'm a pretty cool teen, wise beyond my years and most people (friends, family, adult aquaintances think so). So it's so annoying when there are a group of teens being abnoxious or doing something stupid in school. they give us all a bad name :p

and the shower, i dont see anything yet!!!

That was pretty cool. I went outside for about 10 minutes and saw about 15 of them. A few were really bright and left huge streaks. Never really seen anything like that before. But, I got cold, and my neck started hurting so I came inside.

I saw some... Not 2000/hour like they predicted however :p

That would be around one every 2 seconds. I think it's more like one every 30 seconds. I got cold, neck hurts, and I'm tired.

Pretty cool, though :p

<< No idea where that is :p >>



Don't worry, lot of people don't. It's basically in the middle of Fremont.
