Hmmmm. I think I detect a meteor FAQ opportunity!

Just got back from a couple hours lying on my back next to a forest service road up by Snoqualmie Pass. Fantastic. I am so glad we decided to stay up and go for a spin. While a lot of the meteors seemed to come in from the northeast, the angles were all over the place. Some of the coolest ones were the rare birds that actually came right at us -- provided this sparkly starburst type of effect. Couldn't have had better weather (for once). You could still see quite a few as we got back into town even with all of the ambient light
