(meteorobs) Early PERs from around the lamba AND

[Bernd Brinkmann]

Hello Sergei,

I just entered the data Wayne gave into a shower list for UfoOrbit and processed 
the data from MBB3 by Martin Breukers (Hengeloo, NL) and KLEMOI (one of my 
cameras, 20 km east of Cologne) from the night 04./05. July. And indeed from the 
11 double station meteors 3 were identified as CANs! The other 8 were SPOs.
Attached is the csv output of UfoOrbit for these 3 CANs.

Clear skies
