REMARKS: At 08:48, meteors 15 and 16 appeared at precisely the same
moment! 15, being
mag 2 and near my center FOV (right in it!) distracted me from seeing
any detail in meteor 16. I
stress that they occured at exactly the same moment, about 25-35
degrees apart. They could
have been from a common point, I could not discern this due to the
distraction of the brighter, nearer
meteor. However, they were both of VERY brief duration, traveling no
more than 8-12 degrees
