 I just received this anonymously.  Thought you all would be interested. 
 I always thought that is what you called these..."stationary" meteors,
 because they "appear" to be stationary. I know they are NOT!  Perhaps, I
 should have called them "ones headed right for me" meteors?
 What's the proper term?  Also, I didn't realize our posts were going to
 Sky and Telescope.

They are called "Point Meteors" or simply "Pointers". 

You never know who lurks these folders....But I bet the "Shadow Knows"? Aha ha
ha ha ha!  :o)
