up here, there was a very visable meteor shower (look it up, perseids or something)

however, I only noticed it when I saw a meteor go by and light up the sky behind one of the mountains! no thunder, it wasn't lightning.... it was crazy.

I've previously seen it happen without the thunder, a few weeks ago. I believe it may have been the time when Whistler caught on fire.

anyone see this tonight?

Quote:
A bright light lit-up the sky over Metro Vancouver Saturday evening.

People from Surrey, Langley, and Vancouver all called the CKNW Newsroom to explain what they saw moving East to West across the sky just after 8:00 p.m.

"It was just like a big white fire streak. Almost like lightning."

"I saw this big light. I thought it was a plane coming in. I could see this long tail."

"I saw a giant ball of fire. It shot clear across the sky."

No word yet if the object was in fact a meteor.
