When you see your first meteor...

And all you can say is "holy sh*t!"

It was definitely a nice surprise

Was it a fireball heading from east to west, last night around 9.30pm?

Nah, it was this morning, around 4:25. It shot down towards the ground from Orion's belt.

I had the same reaction Saturday night, seen my very first meteor while having a tour of the night sky at a star party. It came from around Orion's belt heading down too.
Just fantastic!
