(meteorobs) "flashbulb" type meteors?

[GLDSKTR at aol.com]

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

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