*sigh* there's one every august where i regularly go on vacation, and my alarm clock mystically ceases to function on that specific night every year! arg!
View them nothing, I was using them to bounce 2M WSJT signals to other ham radio operators. Meteor scatter baby yeah!
I got up around 04:00 to go out and see these. I saw about 7 of them in a few minutes. It was 12F/-11C outside - not counting the wind chill factor.
