Meteors over Mt. Rainier

Here are two awesome time-lapse videos of the recent Perseid meteor shower over Mt. Rainier. The flashes in the second video are probably automobile headlights -- but they could be dry lightning strikes. [It has been noted that Mt. Rainier has its own weather patterns, different from the surrounding area.] There are campfires or possibly forest fires burning on the mountain, too, which you can also see. Enlarge the videos for best viewing. Enjoy!

Here is the first video:
