Dear Geoge,
As those Taurid fireballs in that list are picked up by me from NMS
mailing list which is like 'meteorobs', they were seen by many observers
and witnesses. Therefore, they are not from all over Japan. Official
report of monthly fireball report on Oct. or Nov. 1998 of NMS has not
been reported yet in public. I don't know the sum of observation time
and fireball rate.
I catch your thinking that you don't feel unusual. It is different from
area of information between mine and yours. I understand that it is not
comparable with number of fireballs only. I exactlly say my opinion,
According to MY EXPERIENCE, I think that there is many N.Taurid fireballs
in this year. I'm glad that this is a useful messege of increasing of
Taurids observation.
