Re: (meteorobs) Coma Berenicid Meteors Seen!
April 10, 2003
Greetings George Gliba and Fellow Meteor Enthusiasts!
Congratulations on the meteor hunt! I too have
suspicions that there exists a meteorite producing
meteor stream active in early April. It will be
interesting to see if the dynamics of such a stream
---if it exists--- are different from a normal meteor
stream.
Were there anybody else meteor hunting recently with
interesting activity to report?
Long, bright, April fireballs!
