(meteorobs) Re: Leonid Stormlet 1997
Dear Robert and Joseph,
Thank you for seeing this movie soon and I'm glad to understand the
value of this phenomenon. But, to be frank with you, I terribly worried
what I should call it this phenomenon. You might point out its problem,
I think that it might be a single meteor fragemented before entering the
Earth's atmosphere or near Earth. I can't hit upon a wonderful idea
about it. I would like to think a suitable name of this phenomenan for
everyone.
I would like to close my mail by writting as follows.
I say thank you for Mr. Kinoshita and Mr. Takanashi. The former, he
allowed us to open the video tape in public. The latter, he made this
movie based on Kinoshita's video tape. I only introduced it to everyone.
Clear Skies! Takema
