Meteor this morning?
Saw a great one this morning north of Vancouver at about 4:45 this morning. It wasn't an across the sky. It was a 45 degree at the ground. Breaking off pieces and I swear I saw flames. It lasted less than a second. I can't find any news. Anybody hear anything about it?

Re: Meteor this morning?
You probably did see flames, which are gases flourescing under enormous heat. I saw one this past summer that gave off flames as I rode my bike through the neighborhood.
I love meteors!
My wife  and I had the opportunity to view a wonderful meteor shower on our honeymoon many years ago at Diamond Lake. I forget the name of it, but it's every year in early to mid August. Yes, meteors are a wonderful thing!

Re: Meteor this morning?
saw one last night as well. It looked rather large and really did not know what it was. I think this thread confirms it.

Re: Meteor this morning?
Each November when the Earth runs into the dusty debris from periodic comet 55P/Tempel-Tuttle, some Leonid meteor shower activity is noted. These annual displays of meteors, or shooting stars, seem to originate in the constellation Leo (the Lion) so they are termed Leonid meteors.
