I live in Baldwin Park, Ca and I had never seen such a thing like it. It was truly majestical. I was hoping some one caught it on video, but I have googled, and nobody seems to have seen it. It was the best. A few years back (I’m 19 now) every August night I would wait outside until 3AM just to see the meteor showers. They are amazing. My mom still thinks I’m crazy for doing that, but it was worth. And today seeing that spectacular meteor makes it way across the sky, and then disappear, was just the best, and it brought some memories of those long summer nights. Seriously, best shooting star I have seen. God is great!!

The best time is during the peak of one of the major annual showers. The next major annual shower is the Orionids, which peak on the morning of October 22. Unfortunately nearly all the major showers are best seen after midnight. The Orionids are best seen near 4:00am when their numbers will be highest.

I hope this helps.

I am a fan of astronomy stuff. Thanks very much. ^^
