Come to think of it, I wonder what precautions the crew needs to take, considering that THEY are flying through the comet's debris field too?

I was wondering if the perseids are visble from the ISS, and if so via the live camera on nasa-tv.
I looked at the live cam at around 1400 utc and thought I saw meteor trails flashing in the darkness. I know fixed objects on the iss come in and out of sunshine at strange angles, and at the time I could see the solar array adjusting its angle, but these looked different.
anybody any ideas?
