tried but too much light pollution in town and didn't have energy-motivation to drive out where it was dark

We drove up to the top of the Grapevine on the old Ridge Route Rd. Decently dark place to go without driving more than 1hr. Good show - one bright one every couple of minutes.

Tis the season!
A fireball was caught lighting up the night sky in western Japan on Sunday. Believed to be a meteor, spectators have described it as ‘bright as the full moon’ ☄️ pic.twitter.com/DuLSlZJKP6— NowThis (@nowthisnews) December 1, 2020

And found...
A piece of burning rocket debris seen streaking across the Pacific Northwest sky last week crashed on a farm in eastern Washington state, authorities said.After the March 25 event, a farmer discovered a nearly intact piece of rocket in a private field, The Tri-City Herald reported.The approximately 5-foot (1.5-meter) composite-overwrapped pressure vessel used for storing helium left a nearly 4-inch (10.16-centimeter) dent in the ground, Grant County sheriff's spokesman Kyle Foreman said. No one was hurt, he said.The National Weather Service in Seattle has said the widely reported bright objects in the sky on March 25 were remnants of the second stage of the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket leaving comet-like trails as they burned up upon reentry to the Earth's atmosphere.The farmer, who authorities said didn't want to be identified, suspected the debris may have come from the rocket and left a message with the sheriff's office over the weekend, Foreman said. Deputies responded Monday and contacted SpaceX officials. SpaceX confirmed it was part of the rocket and has since retrieved it, Foreman said.
