Hi Cats, welcome to the SDC!
As MeteorWayne (
the expert around these parts!) observed - way too far over the horizon to share meteor views with you.
One thing to note about frequency of observation is a human nature trait for pattern matching. We all have to be really careful about "spotting patterns". Human brains are outstanding pattern matching machines. In fact, they're so good they'll run around creating patterns where none exist, just to satisfy themselves, I think.
It's like buying a new car. Before you bought/considered that car, you hardly saw any on the road. Buy the car and "suddenly they're everywhere". It's not that everyone else bought it at the same moment, but rather we've become hyper-attuned to it. Same thing goes for transient spotting, like meteors. You might think you're not looking for them, but for some time after seeing something fantastic like a fireball, the brain is hyper-attuned to looking for another. You might be glancing at the sky more frequently without noticing it, or tracking it from the corner of your eye with more pattern matching processing power being devoted to it, or going outside more frequently that night or...
Regardless - would like to hear more details on your fireball!
MeteorWayne - any thoughts on my observation?
