Mine also came from the general area of the radiant whixh is why I called it
a Geminid. I am afraid that I did not follow its path back with enough
precision to tell if it was a sporadic coming from near the radiant.
Pierre thank you for your reports too, your objects too sound similar to,
but much brighter, than the one I saw.
Obviously there must be a class of objects not yet characterised. Aggregates
of dust and a volatile material such as ice?
