Reports Report 963a (Event 963-2010)

| Name | Peter H |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | Working outdoors at night I have seen many meteors over the last 40 years. I have tried to observe several showers over the years, but this is the only occasion I have seen anything of interest. My Grandson was with me observing this and I will try to get him to make a further report if he remembers it. As stated earlier my boat log records 5 meteors and 3 fireballs this evening, but I can only remember rough impressions at this late date. All details recorded are open to question. |
