Re: (meteorobs) Anyone hearing high counts today?



I just happened to be out in town last night around midnight local (=10UT 11/23) and my friend saw an unusually large number of meteors. Very unscientific, of course, but normally untrained observers don't comment on such things. So I thought it significant she would notice them. They were fairly bright, given the LM=5 conditions we were under. From the trajectories, a few could have been AMO's, but many seemed to be Anthelions actually.
