OK, I can't find the meteor shower article, but...
I saw one last night when I was driving home from Orlando! It scared me half to death! It looked reeeeeally low. For a split second I thought it was a plane crashing or something, and it made me jolt and swerve my car. But it moved way too fast and the lights disappeared, so then I realized what it was. I haven't seen one that low in about 8 years. It's scary when you're not expecting it!
