(meteorobs) Hartley-id analysis

[Chris Peterson]

Maybe they know more than they're including in the press release, otherwise, 
I'm deeply skeptical. Obviously, there are many fireballs every night like 
those described. To assume they are related to Hartley simply because they 
happened on November 2/3 is unreasonable. I don't see how anybody could make 
such an assumption without either photographic data or a report from a very 
experienced meteor observer.
