Saturday Aug. 12 I went out in my backyard (Venice Fl.) to see the meteor shower again. This time I went out at 9:30 pm. Within th first half hour I saw six meteors. My mom said she saw one in the south but I missed that one. The sky was a lot clearer that Friday night and not as humid. I don't know why I saw more meteors Sat. night than Friday night. One of the meteors I saw was very bright, perhaps it is what's called a fireball? I'm not sure. but it was bright.
I styed out there for an hour and although the first half was busy, the latter half was extremely quiet. I saw not a single meteor. I wonder why? Well, I also got up at 4:am Sun. but clouds had moved in and the waning moon was up so there was nothing to see.
