    Sorry long time lurking first time poster in this forum. Has anyone else seen a number of meteors tonight in the north sky just near the plough. I've been out a few times tonight in the past hour, hour and a half and I've seen at least 6 of them. Hadn't seen anything mentioned anywhere so just curious??

    Perfect I was just wondering what the story was I hadn't heard anything about it, I'm based in the southeast by the way if that helps anyone with location.

    Location is a good point actually, anyone know the direction to look?

    Other than up. :p

    Saw a few very quick ones and a massive one that looked like in landed possibly 100 miles south of Kildare, I'm guessing
