(meteorobs) obs.period.2004.03.22-25

My greetings
It is an observation, dedicated to formal Virginids maximum. The sky
was clear, although its transparency was slightly below ideal.
It was rather cold. Despite the Moon absence, it was the modest
lm=4.7, which is explained by fresh, recently fallen snow and slight
fog.
During nearly an hour I saw 3 meteors, two of which were written as
virginids. They were just identical in their visual features.
Both were slow, of medium brightness, with short track. Perhaps, they
were typical virginids. The third meteor became more impressive.
It appeared low above the horizon and was flying further downwards
during 2 seconds. It was quite bright and had distinctly yellow color.
