One last question for the "meteor colors" thread: it would seem that by 
correlating multiple observers' data, and correcting for individuals' differing 
color perceptions (like George's greens vs. Bob's blues) based on some color bar 
experiments, some conclusions COULD be reached about meteor color perceptions. 
For those invaluable meteors with BOTH visual and trajectory (either radar or 
two-station) information, cross-reference colors with observer-meteor distances 
as well, and you'd have the basis for an honest to gosh research paper!

I'm surprised in the long history of meteorics that no one has done this... ?

Or have they, but the results were inconclusive?

Clear skies,
Lew
