I assume these were moving towards the horizon. What azimuth..west, south,
north?
I remember from '98 Leonids, at my Anza Borrego site (western USA), there was
a flurry of activity near dawn: ~3:00-5:00am, I remember a huge fireball near
Orion (setting in the west).
I just got back from observing from Mt. Wilson. I was disappointed not to see
any huge fireballs. I didn;t
see any "flurry" 3:00-5:00am.
