(meteorobs) Large Fireball KCG from Italy!

[Pierre Martin]

As of this morning (Aug 8/9), I took note of KCG activity.  Although  
no fireballs were seen, the best one was a 30 degree long mag -2 KCG  
that had a very smooth brightness increase and decrease.

Of course, Perseids are ramping up nicely.  The weekend is looking  
like it'll be clouded out here (in eastern Ontario), but I'm hopeful  
for Monday night.

P.S. My long overdue reports on the way soon... :0)
