What is perception? You decide, our own inner personal thoughts, beliefs and feelings from which we can never hide?

Hi friends, have just been outside in my garden tonight at 12 midnight and just witnessed what i believe can only be a  shooting star, not once but 3 times. A super bright glowing light shooting across the sky at unbelievable speed then disappearing. Speaking to the friend who was with me at the time he believes it was a meteor storm. I have never seen anything like this before. Anybody else experience something similar tonight? Would love feedback, thanks L & L.
