(meteorobs) Sasquatch Meteor

[GLDSKTR at aol.com]

I've seen a couple of meteors over the years that just didn't seem to be  
real. They made moves that made me think I was seeing things. You're not 
alone  there!

I went out for an hour at local midnight as storms  out west were 
threatening the early morning.  I only saw only two or  three Perseids.  I was rather 
tired and of course the moon was full so my  results aren't worth much 
other than anecdotal information.  I do agree  with James and Paul that things 
seemed slow.
 
However, during a period when I was lucid  (really), I saw a funny meteor 
that originated from CAP/ANT territory,  though it may have been a SPO.  It 
was approximately mag 0,  yellow, medium to slow, lasted maybe two seconds, 
and it was  non-linear (and no - not a lightning bug).  I don't really want 
to  say corkscrew or zig-zag but something of the sort comes to mind.  Kind  
of like a glowing ember spewed from the fire.  I did an archive search  and 
notice this topic of non-linear meteors maybe akin to cryptid  hominids.  I 
thought twice about posting but I thought "I saw something,  so what the 
heck".
 
If it hadn't misbehaved it would have looked (to me)  like a typical bright 
CAP.
 
We'll see what tonight brings, if the weather  holds.
