Re: (meteorobs) Some Perseids above annual in 2003?



Hi!

Just for the ones that also became curious about the Perseids 1997 
from the Netherlands: I have extracted Marco Langbroek's reports from 
the IMO Visual Meteor Database.

two -5 and a -4 fireballs, but nothing unusual for a Perseid peak 
night

one -5 fireball, also nice but usual

So the figures tell the same Marco also already said, this is no 
reason for a myth. If you know of any other observers that might have 
seen something unusual these nights, please let me know and I'll 
check it.
