it's not a meteor shower tonight is it? I just went outside for a few minutes and saw 4 in a row, all in different spots of the NE sky

it's probably not a meteor shower now, but post here whenever it is and we can discuss it here!

Probably UFOs. I grew up in Pitt County and we spotted UFOs all the freakin' time. Seriously.

RD. You are in a great spot for sky watching. I have always attributed UFO sightings to the nearby military bases. And aliens.

30-60 per hour? that can't be right. That's less than one a minute. I've seen more than that the last couple of nights and that was supposed to be before the peak.

"A dense fog advisory remains in effect until 9 am EST this morning.

Dense fog covers a large part of central North Carolina early this morning. The visibility is expected to remain poor through mid morning. The visibility should begin to improve after 9 am.

Across the northern Piedmont...the dense fog combined with temperatures hovering near freezing may cause slick spots to develop on roadways especially bridges and overpasses."

I've never seen them in daylight but there were 5 of so in the western sky about 30 minutes ago. I hope it stays clear enough to see them tonight.
