If you were disappointed with the meager showing put on by this year's Leonid meteor shower, don't fret.

No way! This years was the best I had ever seen.

I thought there was suppose to be one in November, but I missed it if there was. Thanks for the 'heads up' on this one.

Bump.

Last night at 7:55 EST in suburban Maryland, I was coming to a stop at a traffic light when I saw a greenish fireball to the NW, about 2 seconds duration, very bright even through high hazy clouds. I try every year to look at the Perseids, Leonids and Geminids, and this was the biggest one I've ever seen (not the longest). Big enough that people were rolling down their windows and asking what it was.
