Hi,
1993 and 2007 were good years with enhanced KCG activity.
On this pages you will find two examples of "flashbulb" meteors.

I started calling them flashbulb meteors back several years ago when there
was a nice Kappa Cygnid return. The name caught on. Great shower!

Thomas,
The Kappa Cygnids can produce “flashbulb” meteors. I’ve seen a few while
watching the Perseids and they are definitely distinctive.
