Ooh; got the whole fam up at 2 a.m. (San Diego, CA, USA) and it was TOTALLY
OVERCAST. Until 2:05, when it cleared. We saw approximately 60 in the hour
we were up. Some quick blips, some flamers across 15 or 20 degrees of sky.
One left a flaming trail that burned for almost 15 seconds.

> Heard on the London Underground (at Mill Hill East):
> "Hello this is xxx speaking, I am the captain of your train, and we will
be departing shortly, we will be cruising at an altitude of approximately
zero feet, and our scheduled arrival time in Morden is 3:15pm. The
temperature in Morden is approximately 15 degrees celsius, and Morden is in
the same time zone as Mill Hill east, so there's no need to adjust your
watches."
