(meteorobs) Meteorobs - skipping meteors -Addendum

[bob71741]

While looking for an article on my computer, I ran across one that I
had that discusses meteoroid rotation and flickering. I added the file
to the files section as Meteoroid Rotation and Fireball Flickering.
The article is by Martin Beech, a noted meteor observer/scientist.

Best Regards
Bob
