(meteorobs) Ursids Meteor Picture

[Mike Hankey]

Chris,

After your first email I looked a little harder and agree its too
long, too faint and too straight. A meteor this long would have had
more shape to it. I was thinking a satellite would be more iridium
flare like, but I guess they can come in different shapes and sizes.

Thanks,

Mike
