It also happens in the daytime, but you need a lonnnnnnng pipe with a black
painted interior pointed at the sky to see them. (Or at least, I assume that
MIGHT work). (But you'd see only a small part of any trail that you did
see).

I've seen a Leonid meteorite with the sun just up and the sky blue, but that
was exceptional.
