Stunning meteor showers light up California sky

Recently, in Oakland, California, streaking fireballs lighting up California skies and stunning stargazers are all put of a MAJOR meteor shower, but the show is just getting started, says observers.

It crashed through the earth's atmosphere, ''setting the air on fire in its wake," Jonathan Braidman said.National Weather Service forecaster Steve Anderson tells the Tribune that warm temperatures and cloud-free skies are making the bright lights more visible, a phenomenon that should only increase as the weekend approaches and the shower continues.

The fireballs are part of the large, fast Orionid meteor shower, so-named because it has the Orion constellation as a backdrop.

I was able to find an interesting but delayed video on this sight. It will explain how it came from Hailey's Comet.

My Opinion: I found this very interesting and after I watched this video, I thought to myself, ''WOW, I wish I lived in California, and not to mention, WHY IS THIS VIDEO SO LAGGY!!!!
