From my Face book page last night. - Did anyone else see the shooting star at 8:40 over Lebanon? Haven't ever seen anything like it. Lasted forever, was super wide and bright with the bottom edge alternating blue then green. It broke in two and the front half accelerated like a rocket with the original one chasing it. It was awesome.
