Several hours before the great Leonid storm, people saw a faint glow in the constellation of Leo. This was the light being scattered from the meteoroid cloud which later produced the storm.  Several days ago I read about a similar cloud seen before the Perseid outburst of 1992 ( the text actually say that the cloud was quite bright, between +3 and +4 magnitude!!). There are probably good chances of such a cloud being seen this year with Leonids.
Have such clouds been observed on any other occasions? (Leonids 1998??) And what is the approximate number of particles per cubic meter (kilometer??).

Clear skies!!
