Having spent quite a few nights sitting outside and watching the skies, I live on the outskirts of town on the edge of a field, I was quite surprised to see a shooting star closely followed by another, I've been told this is lucky and thought this is a good sign as |I could do with some luck right now!.
As I sat gazing upwards, mid July clear skies following the amazing summer we've just had, I then noticed that there were literally dozens of shooting stars all moving in the same direction, North, this spectacle continued into the early hours of the morning when I decided that I really needed to sleep.
It occurred to me the next morning that if there really were so many constant shooting stars would there be so many travelling in the same direction? the speed of these things was literally a flash across the sky and gone. At one point there was even a flash in the far distance seconds after a shooting star had passed over, to be honest it looked like a scene from Star Wars that night I was even surprised there was no follow up in the Leicester Mercury over the next few days (my local paper).
Are these shooting star occurrences a regular thing? Do they happen during day light hours when we obviously can't see? I'm sure I wasn't the only star gazer that night and are they shooting stars? or is something going on up there that were oblivious to down here?
