How many shootinmg stars have ytou seen? Have you seen any? Do you see them often?

I always remember one night walking back from a bar with friends, throughh the countryside and we all looked up and saw a shooting star.. it was a wonderful moment, we all made a wish and carried on walking, talking about the experience we had just had.

Two weeks I saw another one, walk8ing home in the dark,frightened, lonely and cold.. I made my wish.

Tonight, just now I have seen another and made a wish.

At my sisters' in London, they arent so fortunate to see shooting stars, cos the sky is filled with artificial illuminations and they never seem to have a clear natural sky.. but where I am now, I feel warm, comfortable able to see all the stars lighting the night above me, they are so beautiful and clear, they really are a wonderous sight..

I miss the stars.

I don't see them often now, cause of the light pollution, but everytime I'm at my parents at night I make sure to take a good look. I've seen many shooting stars in my life time. I've gone out to watch meteor showers before.

I love them...I saw one walking home one night a few weeks ago, made a wish, and it came true

In the Caribbean, with clearer skies than the U.S.(no smog), they are seen quite regularly. Many times each night.

As a kid I used to close my eyes and make wishes, but as I aged I realized this practice was just infantile. They are so common place here that I see them and still don't see them. Just like rainbows.

..But if a free wish is going, why pass up on that? ..

REDFEATHERS said:

That wishing on a shooting star shit never worked anyway.
Why bother?????

I thought this was about going after Britney or Paris with a shotgun.

dseann said:

hmm.. there is always hope

Hey. It's fun. Never tried before.

i'd rather not

I've see a couple so close & big that it seemed you could see the fire coming off of them. Not just a flash, but a burning rock flying across the sky. Amazing.

I've seen a few but more when I was living in Hereford last year - we were in a tiny village and there were no lights at all where the cottage were so we had really clear skies and lots of shooting stars.

More often, I see satellites. I will go outside quite often and wait for a satellite to pass overhead. It's rare that I'll wait longer than 20 mins before one passes.

I love watching the skies.

When I go to northern Ontario in August we go out and watch the Perseid meteor showers. We stargaze quite a lot when we're there.

The next ones are the Geminids on December 14 during the morning crescent moon.

I just saw one the night before last. I went outside to walk my dog after receiving really good news from a friend. I was outside looking up at the clear sky- the moon shining bright and the stars twinkling. I was saying a little prayer and thanks- counting my blessings you could say then all of a sudden I saw Shooting Star!

I saw a shooting star in Thailand about a couple of weeks ago. I was trying to impress a lady so I told her about the constolations. I got as far as Orion and his belt and also the plough. The skys are amazing in Asia.

It was the "trying to impress a lady" bit - I couldn't help myself.

Reincarnate said:

the last time I saw a shooting star was when i was camping in upstate ny...the sky is so clear..

JDINTERACTIVE said:

I saw my first ever one about 2 weeks ago

I was sooooo excited! I got all flustered about my wish too!

susannah said:

Was your wish about me in a Japanese robe showing you the constolations? I though so.

JDINTERACTIVE said:

Yes spot on JD
