I would also note that there is no easy way to distinguish between a single
larger meteoroid that fragmented high in the atmosphere vs. a tightly bound
clump of tiny meteoroids in an orbit roughly matching Tempel-Tuttle's from
the data we have at our disposal for the 1997 outburst.

What would keep a "tightly bound clump of tiny meteoroids in an orbit roughly
matching tempel-tuttle" from not dispersing within 33 years or more so that
it would appear as a less than 2 second outburst?
