That's great.
If you watch any part of the sky long enough you will find that you will see meteors in that area too. They actually happen all over but usually we aren't looking at the part of the sky where they zoom through. Occasionally we happen to be looking in the right spot at the right time, but they do zoom around from any direction all night long.
If you get the chance, try it some time. Lay so you are looking up at Zenith and see how many ther are in any given hour!!! They are Sporadics. (light pollution makes it hard to see the common faint fast ones)
