I Don't know, i would think it hits your timezone the same hour, not the same moment, this is a tool to calculate when to look

And they said it was going to be a good year, 2000 meteorites per hour
Well , next year better perhaps

I didn't see anything. I wasn't 100% on the time really. I never saw it on the news or anything.

well, every year it's a small article in my newspaper, and you can find links sometimes in the Belgian news site
But it's easy to forget

Ok, it's norwegian, but the pictures and the video that is important. It's filmed the day after the meteors. It's no plane fer sure

Impressive, i haven't heard anything about it, it's a big whopper if you see the speed it's moving

Well , geminids are coming

Geminids is the one of biggest meteor streams. The maximum data of this meteor stream is Friday 13th - Saturday 14th December, Moon sets around midnight, so hopefully no clouds

Here you have a chart of where to look:

Sorry for the southern hemisphere, it's best in North America, so Europe aswell (I think)
