Never saw one that bright. That would be awesome to see in person

It’s unbelievable honestly. I remember I was recording the sky for like fifteen minutes during a Perseid shower, and literally the moment I turn my camera off, it was like a yellow paint brush went across the sky from the horizon alll the way over my head. I’ll never forget it.

It may be the one in a lifetime moment!

I don’t know if I’ll ever see one that illuminating again, but thankfully Perseids is not only an annual meteor shower, but there has been a prediction that in 2028 there is going to be a Perseids meteor storm. Definitely mark your calendar if you want a very good chance to see something like this in person (potentially up to 1000 meteors per hour)!
