Early Wednesday morning from around 4:40 to 5:40 am is going to be the best time to witness it, but meteors will be visible in the sky much of the upcoming week after 11:30 PM EST. If you haven't witnessed a "shooting star" with your own eyes before, go outside late Tuesday night in a dark area with clear skies, and observe the sky for a few minutes. This is one of the most active meteor showers, and with a bit of patience, you should easily see multiple this week.

you know what's fun? blankly staring at the sky at 4am and debating with yourself whether the streak you saw was a figment of your imagination or a meteor.

There is no "would of", "should of" or "could of".
There is "would've", "should've" and "could've".

It takes a good 20 minutes for your eyes to adjust, and in a dark area with a clear sky, it's pretty obvious when it happens. When some of these peak, there can be over 100 visible per hour, last one I watched I was out for two hours and I easily witnessed 50+

If it's not your thing, it's not your thing. Don't gotta bash it for people who enjoy it though.

Orionid meteors are visible from anywhere on Earth and can be seen anywhere across the sky. If you find the shape of Orion the Hunter , the meteor shower's radiant (or point of origin) will be near Orion's sword, slightly north of his left shoulder

Not upset, you must live in a light polluted area though if that's your experience.
