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

[George Gliba]

OK, I just played back my meteor observing tape from August 26th morning
and I DID see 4 of them for sure!  Usually I make comments of any suspected
radiants and report them if I see 5 or more in two hours.  As I saw 4 I 
didn't,
but they are from the same reported Aries-Cetus region!  The actually 
data is:

August 26th

04:22 UT    3rd magn.     white       fast          from Aries-Cetus region
05:40 UT    2nd magn.    white   2 sec. train   from Aries-Cetus region
06:02 UT    1st  magn,    yellow      swift          from Aries-Cetus region
06:18 UT    2nd magn,     white  2 sec. train   from Aries-Cetus region

LET"S GET OUT AND LOOK TONIGHT AND TOMORROW NIGHT!

Starry Skies,
GWG
