Just saw a big meteorite or something .. maybe satellite? enter the atmosphere and burn up, heading due West. From up in the East Bay hills.
 
Happens all the time. I saw one last week.
Just particles entering the atmosphere and burning up, and breaking apart.

Beautiful. Consider yourself lucky.

I've spent countless nights under the stars and only seen it 3 times.

I've seen the Perseids and other showers many times, but this was low-and-slow :) Usually don't get to watch for that long.

I used to live in the Berkeley hills. I slept on the (flat) roof to watch the Perseids. Had a nice, mellow time in my sleeping bag watching them go by.

I guess that's sorta relevant.

Once (around '96) I went camping w/ some friends in Redwood NP (Flint Ridge campground). We didn't plan it, but happened to witness a pretty fantastic series of shooting stars as we bedded down.

My buddy Sam woke up with a banana slug on his head, just above his left temple. The slime wouldn't rinse out for the whole weekend. Looked like he had a little cowlick on the side of his head.

That's all I've got.
