(meteorobs) (Sandia Meteor Network--Sacramento)--Fireball Business is Picking Up

[Wayne Watson]

Business is sure picking up as we approach the peak of the Perseid Shower. Last night 
my Sandia camera collected 8 fireballs, at least 1/2 near the NE horizon. That's a 
high for one night for the camera. Typically get 2 fireballs a week. For the 
preceding two nights, 8. Tonight should  be quite interesting. We've been having 
smoke along the NE/SE horizon for the last several days from a fire. It has 
diminished quite a bit in the last two nights.
