The Perseid meteor shower sends bright streaks shooting across the night sky. Stargazers can watch the shower peak this weekend, but the key, experts say, will be patience.
Witnesses saw a "flaming basketball" streaking across the sky, then heard a loud crash, then Dustin Procita's house went up in flames. But that may be a coincidence, not the fire's cause.
The Perseids, the most popular meteor shower, will soon reach its peak. For best visibility, make sure you find a dark location and avoid light pollution from cities.
