Although technically not a meteorite story, if some of you meteorite hunters are up Sunday night you might want to look up in the sky.

Early AM, just before sunup is supposed to be the best viewing.

I wish I could find out the name of the meteor shower I saw from San Clemente island in 79 or 80. It was by far, one of the most amazing things I have ever seen. I was tired and half froze, but bunch of guys saw it. I would say, somewhere in the line of a thousand an hour or more, if there as ever been such a thing?
