And, if this (possible) shower was active all the month of February, 1997,
would we notice that?<<< 



Hi Werfried,

Have you contacted Jim Richardson or Jim Riggs who are part of the American
Meteor Society radiometer project? They might have sporadic numbers to note
any patterns in flux.

There is also the possibility (probability?) that there are undiscovered
cometary streams of meteor particles too minute for visual observers to
detect.

Clear skies,
