Hi Jure,
I also saw a unusual Geminid on the night 14/15 december. It was a second
magnitude meteor and it travelled more than half the heaven. It moved like a
snake! I first thought it was a "worm meteor" but I don't know. It's the
first time since I'm observing meteors (1975) that I saw such a meteor.
Could it be an earthgrazer ??

The meteor travelled mor than 1000 !! Never seen this befor. Strange ?

With kind regards,


Jean-M. Biets
