(meteorobs) FW: Odd Meteor
Would not have a clue, I doubt it was a meteor. My daughter ( an exchange
student, now back) saw the same thing at about 10 PM on 8 May from Pisa,
Italy. When I debriefed her I got a description almost exactly like yours. She
has been to starparties with me so she knows what the sky looks like.

Could you upossibly answer a question for us. I've come across your web
site looking for information of star activity. We live in San Jose,
California. Last night, July 19, 1998 at appoximately 10:15 PST, we were
experiencing a power outage and had gone outisde to gaze at the stars
hoping to spot a shooting star. Someone yelled, "there's one!". And as
we all stared to the spot he was pointing we saw a star moving through
the night. It was the same small size as all many of the other stars,
not too bright. The only oddity is it was moving upwards, it made an
exaggerated zip to the right, went straight up, made a zip to the left
and faded out of view. Could you please tell me if this was a meteor?
And is this "normal" activity for a meteor?
Thank you very much for your help.
Susan
