Below are some recent data for video camera sightings. They are from our two
cameras which are about 30 miles apart outside of Sacramento, CA. Weather
has been modestly good, and some days we haven't both been on the air.
However, the last few nights have produced quite a few fireballs. Note the
number of sightings from my (WW) camera on 12/13 and 12/14. There is one day
time sighting from my partner's site (DK), but we need to confirm it.
As far as the data is concerned, note that some of it shows the length of
time for a track in parens (seconds). Eventually, we'll be able to get it
regularly from both camras. When we both get data on the same meteor, we
post the video images to my partners web site.

None of the video images are ready for posting at this time. The four digit
numbers are time in hours and minutes (PST). We have more accurate time
measurements.
