Good point Carl and Thomas,

The Kappa Cygnids can be considered the prototype, but let me point out
the North Chi Orionids and Gamma Hydrids in December. They should be
extremely fragile and containing extremely friable phases. The flash
typically occurs after the catastrophic disruption of the particle.
