yep It's the Perseids. Well-known for fireballs as well as bright
meteors. Trouble is the moon - it will drown out most of them this
year.

People living in places not illuminated by street lights saw
meteorites last night.

www.heavens-above.com will tell you when the moon rises and much more.
The International Space Station is visible at the moment.
