(meteorobs) Comet ISON Debris?

[Bill Smith]

As ISON went through a sublimation, it is likely the resultant objects were
atoms (not even complex molecules). They would have been hit by the cosmic
wind and immediately projected away from the sun at a speed which would have
passed earth's trajectory within 2 days. 

The trailing stream that the earth passed close to on Jan 15th should have
held larger molecules like water, and even complex molecules. It will be
interesting to see ALMA spectroscopy for the ISON life cycle including this
January period.
Disappointing none of you  meteor watchers feel you have spotted larger
objects from ISON coming in as meteors. 

As ISON is a long period parabolic comet - not a Kuiper Belt aasteroid type
object - most believe it is 90% water - even in the long tail. Again we look
forward to the spectroscopy from ALMA and Tony Remijan.

Has anyone had any luck observing meteors from ISON?

Thanks,
