Woohoo! I'm going to look off the Hamilton East End Escarpment, since it points in the right direction (nearby my house).
I hope there isn't too much light pollution *shakes fist*
Thanks for article-ifying this Temara  |

Haha, I saw something like that too. My train of thought was like "PPPPSH UFO!! Ohhh, no, airplane. Huh. Not moving. Ok, a planet ...hm, plane tower?" And then I saw a meteor and forgot about it. I've only seen like two so far though. |

Lol, I thought plane the first time I say it... but yeah it wasn't moving so I dismissed it.
Hmmm, either a UFO or a person standing turning a flashlight on and off. Occams' Razor says UFO!

Whoa, I saw a huge comet! That was awesome! It went vertically downwards. I also saw a couple really small ones. They are REALLY fast! If you blink you can actually miss them.
Also, I've been staring at that blinking light for too long... The autokinesis effect is happening...
