Yes the direction is the northern sky Most of them only last a fraction of a second about 10% last long enough to see a trail in the sky, And about 1% are long enough and bright enough to be called a true shooting star.

Also observed several satellites passing over - never saw that before - all in all, a fantastic experience

I've been noticing those myself during the past few nights, usually moving from South to North at a rapid rate of knots. Never ever seen them before and one would suspect UFO's.

They apperently are at their peak tonight so we should see some no bother as long as we can stay awake long enough lol
