             *  *  *  Possible Martian Meteor Shower  *  *  *

   A recent thread on the meteorite-list suggested a possible martian
meteoroid stream with a maximum on October 3rd. List member Steve Schoner
suggested this, and pointed out that two famous martian meteorite falls,
Chassigny (1815), and Zagami (1962) fell on this date. No location of a
possible radiant was given, but maybe someone on this last can calculate
a theoretical radiant. Of course, this could be a coinsidence, but it does 
give one pause as there are so few martian meteorite falls. So, just in 
case, meteor observer should be on the lookout for fireball, or other meteor
activity during the day, twilight, and night over the next few days.
