(meteorobs) 3 Fireballs -No meteor activity before or after.

Hi Chris,
With Alpha Lyncid that you have observed you could gain the coordinates of
the radiant? In which days they have been observed?
Thanks and best regards,
Roberto Haver

I've had an interesting pattern of events in the last week. Very few
shower members, a moderate number of fireballs, and many sporadics. The
pattern is typical for the last few years. There's a window of reduced
shower activity in the midst of several months of otherwise high
activity. And as noted, lots of sporadic activity.

2007.12.17 - 2007.12.24
alpha Lyncid   LYN   10
Ursid   URS   8
Sporadic   SPO   83
Unknown   UNK   10
Total meteors: 111

Last night I had this (sporadic) stunner:

Unfortunately I missed seeing it visually, even though I was frequently
checking on the full Moon and Mars, which were only 1/4° apart at the
time of the fireball. Oh well.

Chris
