Was Chicken Little right: Is the sky falling? Every morning, pre dawn, for the past several weeks I have seen meteors falling.

I walk, jog and run early in the morning (4:30 – 5:30) before I leave for work. The sky is beautiful when cloudless, which it has been often this past month. There have been mornings when everywhere I look there are meteors burning through the sky, and other mornings when the “show” is less exciting but still “showing”. Why now? Why is it lasting so long?
