(meteorobs) Fwd: Re: Meteors from Aries / Cetus?

[George Gliba]

Actually,  I did also notice a few meteors (3 or 4) from the Aries area 
two nights earlier,
on August 26th, but reported them as sporadics.  I assumed they were 
sporadics, but after
reading your report I am reconsidering.  Mostly because,  chance 
alignments becomes
less likely when meteors from another site far away, which sees 
different meteors, also
has the same apparent radiant.  Then the conditions become less likely 
for random chance
alignments.   Fortunately, I haven't erased my tape yet.  I think it is 
worth video and radar
observers checking into for sure.

Starry Skies,
