Re: (meteorobs) Re: Anomalous meteors
Although I can't beat the Leonid "stormlet", I did see three simultaneous
delta Aquarids from the summit of Mauna Kea in 1974. No, it wasn't oxygen
starvation! As I remember it, the middle one was around mag +2 with mag
+3 meteors appearing very shortly afterwards (0.1 sec?) a degree or so
either side. In the time all three were visible together, the clearly
displayed a common angular velocity and diverged from each other by
several degrees in direction. This is the only time I've clearly
experienced a radiant as a perception.
