Perseid August 12th and 13th.

New research by NASA has just identified the most magical nights of all.
"We have found that one meteor shower produces more fireballs than any other," explains Bill Cooke of NASA's Meteoroid Environment Office. "It's the Perseid meteor shower, which peaks on August 12th and 13th."

Hear live radar detection of meteor entering the atmosphere.
I just found this site and will test it next week if the weather permit.

Interesting thing about the site, they show multiple graphs of meteors in real time with this link;
