(meteorobs) Spoiled after last year's show



The Leonids never did pick up for us in Arizona.  We went
out under crystal clear skies between 2:45 and 3:30 a.m.
once the moon had set, and saw only 12 meteors.  Three were
not Leonids.  All of them were weak and short except for one
slow yellow fireball but this was not as bright, either, as
the fireballs we saw last year.   During the same period a
year ago we were seeing over 100 per hour, too.  Oh, well.
Sounds like were just weren't in the right place at the
right time this year.
