Sorry for to answer after many time but I searched data and references on
this topic in my notes and I found this:

http://gcn.gsfc.nasa.gov/gcn3/2944.gcn3

When I wrote my message I want to said that perharps it can to be
a good idea that each one note on a paper each stationary meteor that
he can see with positions and times because it can to be very interesting
record similar data, between they it can to be too GRBs, naturally this type
of events should be very rare probably one time in a life, but because
not to do it?
Best greetings.
