I wonder if it was the 1998 Leonids. I got about 25 people from my college dorm to drive to the beach that night. It was the night of the fireballs. Another great memory.
That's a beautiful memory for me too! A lot of us gathered in the college ground and spent 1-2 hours watching the beautiful spectacle. I started to count, and then after sometime just gave up the counting. Never have got another chance after 1998 to see so many in one night.
