> -3.5 mag (of 18).
> On 19/20 January there were 2 remarkable meteors. One of them was a
> slow fireball of -3.5 mag with a flash of -7 mag. And the second was
> an excellent sporadic of -1 mag, perhaps it was a graser, as its track

> On 20/21 January night the most remarkable were two simultaneus

Very interesting data, do you have noted radiants from around
Cancer/Gemini in the days around 18-19 January? Do you have
saw January Coma Berenicids in the last days?
Best greetings.
