Yeah, I was just reading that. It doesn't really have the right connections to a shooting star that I wanted, though some depiction of him being born show flames coming from both the rock and himself, which could reference a meteor.

And in Indic Culture, Mitra is depicted as lord of skies and rain, and later became the patron of bonds and friendship. And in the Persian version, he is the Divinity of Contracts, as well as a judicial figure, an all-seeing Protector of Truth, and the Guardian of Cattle, the Harvest and of The Waters.
