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! 10/30/2008 11:54:34 PM |

RD. You are in a great spot for sky watching. I have always attributed UFO sightings to the nearby military bases. And aliens. 10/31/2008 12:00:23 AM |

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. 1/2/2009 10:33:24 PM |

Quote : | "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." |
