Step 1) Look here
Step 2) Look up

That's all you need to do to see these things, the more you look up, the closer you are to a peak of activity, the more chance you've got of seeing something, but any night of the year you've got a chance. Just makes it easier if you have skies where you could see 60+ an hour and so on.

You have to look at certain dates and in certain directions.
The Perseides are good ones. 11 August every year.

Meteorites hit Earth pretty much every day. Many of them are seen burning up as they go through the atmosphere. They are called meteors when passing through the atmosphere, also called shooting stars. People used to make wishes on them. Have you ever heard the Walt Disney theme song, When You Wish Upon a Star?

So, I don't understand why the media gave more attention to this one. They are so foolish!

Not foolish, it just sells; :-)

I just checked, there are the Delta Cancrids meteors active right now; You should have about 4 an hour with a peak at 17 Jan.

Meteors are fun to watch. It happens all the time, just go out at night and wait.

I do have bad luck though, all my life I tried to take a picture of a meteor, have seen many hundreds, and have been taking images many hours and so far I never grabbed one on my camera.

I bet people will be trying to link it to that whole 11:11 phenomenon because omg, it struck on 1-11-2011.

I'm sure they will!

Small meteors always collide with Earth. Why they can connect this with the birds and fish?

Birds die-off was few days ago. Meteor was tonight. Few days ago meteor was in space, so how can it make a birds death?

Oh, this doesn't scare me. Just wondering if there was a NEO supposed to pass tonight. I thinks it's funny they are linking the birds fish and God to this.

Anyone here know about the meteor seen tonight? I can't find anything on it. Some people are freaking out about it. Even linking it to the dead birds and fish.
