(meteorobs) Unusual Geminids
I am still trying to figure out an unusual Geminid I saw. Did any other
observers notice any very unusaul Geminid meteors?
The two strange meteors I have seen in about seven years of observing major
showers have both been Geminids.
The description of this years unusual meteor is
It appeared as a roughly second magnitude short greenish coloured train
with no visible meteor at the head, a sort of "ghost" meteor. It travelled
from the sickle of Leo to the east stars of Leo, about 20 degrees, and was a
Geminid. It was on the slow side but no slower than some other ordinary
Geminids.
It would be very intersting to hear about any other unusual meteors other
observers have seen.
