A shooting star brings luck and you should make a wish upon it. But however romantic this meaning of a shooting star, the truth is that it is just a meteor coming into contact with our atmosphere and burning up. It serves to show us the constant activity of the heavens, and the truly violent and magnificent place that it is.

The meaning varies but is normally regarded as a good sign. The Shawnee Tribe regarded this as a good omen. It was God going to sleep for a few hours each night. Infact the great worrior ,Techumpseh, was born at the same time a shooting star crossed the sky. His father forgot the tradition of waiting 10 days to name the child and immediately name the new boy child Techumseh, or "Panther passes across". The Shawnee beleived that GOD took the form of a great cat to journey home each night.

It was just a meteor (a piece of rock from space) burning up due to the friction of the air against it as it came through the earth's atmosphere. More that 3000 pieces of meteorite material come through the atmosphere every day. If you saw where it hit, it would be a different matter as some meteors are rare and can give scientists information about the formation of the Solar System when examined.

shooting star is a fragment of meteor entering the earth's atmosphere.
meteors are burned as they enter the atmosphere and disappear right away.
It has no meaning at all.
It was only a joke that when ever you saw a shooting star you have to wish right away.
there are actually thousands of shooting stars falling every day on the surface of the earth.
don't bother about it

Shooting stars (meteors) are natural phenomena which occur many times every night, and have no particular meaning. However they are always beautiful and exciting to see.
