Its so so clear here.... never seen so many stars.

We was out for about 5 mins and saw 4 meteors

It helps that our back garden doesnt have any light from anything like lampposts/houses etc so it makes it so clear

Went out at 10pm, saw 2 that lasted over a minute each. Was quite mad as it shone brighter with lines coming off it, then slowing darkened and dissapeared.

The ones after 11pm we saw were very very quick and wasn't even in the sky for more than a seconds tops. We got bored, went in to bed.
