Clear Skies Provide a Magical Meteor Shower Over Tiverton

TIVERTON enjoyed a clear evening – how many people were out

there enjoying the meteor shower?

I spent around forty minutes stargazing and wasn’t disappointed.

I think I saw around four or five. OK, not too many, but I was only out in my garden, unlike Ami Wyllie who tells me she saw 41 of them - but she had the advantage of extra darkness by going up to Seven Crosses where it's darker, and you can see ships from there too!

I’ve never seen a meteor shower before, but

it was an eye opener into how quick they are. Certainly a blink and you’ll miss

it type of thing.

I don’t doubt somebody will claim they’ve seen aliens in the

morning. Or that they’ve landed in People’s Park – it seems to be the way these

days. People see something in the sky and before you know it, they think

Roswell is happening in Westexe.....  

So was anyone else out in the meteor shower? Did you see any

of the little critters shooting across the sky?
