yeah i was just thinking that....


alright everyone brainstorm....

 

[Tryingtomastrkush]

Maybe 2 pictures......one of the sky and one to prove the second was taken in the same place.....using some sort of landmark....tree or whatever

 

[CreepyStevie69]

yeah that sounds good to me... maybe still write riu or your sn just to be extra careful.

well go with that then

[sqhschief]

Well, this sucks. Cloudy and rainy. I did get to see it last year though, and holy shit it was amazing. I saw about 30 HUGE meteors that were so big you could see them streak across the sky for like 4-5 seconds, and all left a very long white vapor streak behind them. They were all coming in from the same direction. They were lit up all different colors white, blue, red, yellow. I wish I could have saw it this year! It is now 4am here and I am still checking a few times an hour to see if the cloud cover has cleared, but no dice yet...
