Yep it lasted quite a while here too. Too fast for a plane i feel.

The meteorites rarely last more than a second; they really are flying astonishingly quickly. If you saw something that lasted more than a second or two odds are it wasn't a shooting star.

It might have been the Space station thing then. Ive seen one very bright shooting star though. Amazing.

When you see 1 there seems to be a quick succession for the the 1st one i see was quickly followed by 4 more in the same spot

Only saw one star myself in ten minutes; for all that it's good viewing tonight I don't think it's a very good storm this year. Even in good years I used to reckon one a minute was a decent average.

Thank you, never seen it before but often wondered. Now I know.

Haven't seen anything yet but I've notices lots of planes tonight.

Does anyone know what the really bright star is to the south? Is it Uranus by any chance?

Woo, it clatters along. It's over the Indian Ocean now. Hope it doesn't have to stop at a red light!

Venus: brightest apparent heavenly body in the sky after the Sun and Moon.

[Louby]

[Andy H]

Getting quite frequent here now and from the south and east

[Costa Del Fal]

I keep seeing bright lights that look like they are on the ground to my east. What is this?

They dont last long either.

Jupiter is up now. SSE low on the horizon. Has a yellowish tinge to it whereas Venus is normally a brilliant white and currently sets (my location) at 20.14

[BARRY]

Same here - i've seen nowt, other than those that were shown on the BBC 10 0'clock news

[peggy]

I think I've seen three, all to the ENE. 1 was very bright and clear, the other 2 were just a brief glimpse so that you don't know if you've really seen anything.

[Rustynailer]

I have just seen one and absolutely loads of holiday planes from the Med

Ill have another neck aching stare at the sky in an hour or so

[*AL*]

Excellent seen quite a few to the NE from my back garden!!
