(meteorobs) Meteor Observations March 19/20 2005 East GA

[Kim Youmans]

    I was out again for two hours this morning.  The sporadic rates were 
quite low, especially for the second hour when I saw only three meteors 
despite feeling wide awake and not the least bit distracted.  There were a 
couple of flashes that I did discount during the slow hour -- rates were 
probably not quite as bad as I reported.  A total of twelve meteors over 
three hours were observed, including two antihelion (VIRs).
