What happens when you see a shooting star other than seeing how awesome and mighty God is? I mean, that should be enough, but just wondering if there are any urban legends? Mom said that you are in love with the person you saw it with... to which I laughed and said "I must be in love with myself, or San Clemente."
It was awesome to see a shooting star in the middle of a city at 1030 pm. I could only gasp in awe.

Nothing happens. People usually "make a wish" but I usually pray. To me it was kinda like God "winking" at me saying, "thanks for taking the time to look up" for a split second in my busy life.
It just happens to be a piece of space debris/rock that has pelted our atmosphere. And so the friction of the speed combined with entering our atmosphere makes for the light you see. It's burning up in our atmosphere...thank God for our atmosphere! If it actually hits the ground it is then called a "meteor-ite". (Hyphen emphasis mine.)
There has been a comet out in our skies but it is a bit harder to see in our light-polluted city skies. It's quite spectacular if your in a nice moonless dark place.
Anyway, there aren't any meteor showers "on" as of late BUT there doesn't HAVE to be a meteor shower to see shooting stars. It's not like they "wait" for the designated meteor shower date to pelt our earth with old comet debris. He he!
Glad you experienced that. Hopefully we'll be able to go out and see more of them in the future.
Next year!
