I'm happy for you, Joe. I think one a minute is pretty good.

My sister has never seen a shooting star in her life. I saw a few while in the Grand Canyon.

In addition, I've seen big green fireballs twice - one in rural Nebraska, and one in Kansas City. I'm glad that both times I was with a friend who saw it too, confirming that it wasn't some kind of optical illusion.

I read a book about dust and air pollution a few years ago, and was surprised to learn that debris from meteors is a significant component of household dust. That makes dust seem less dirty.
