(meteorobs) Re: Leonid Stormlet 1997
I want to publicly thank Mr. Hashimoto for bringing this to our
attention. If anyone has not visited this site I would highly recommend
it. This is an extraordinary occurrence and to capture it on videotape
to share with all of us is most fortunate.
Instead of viewing this event as a "stormlet" I would tend to call it a
swarm of Leonids that traveled together in space and all met their fiery
demise in one spectacular instant.
Regardless of what one calls it, it is an impressivey event!
