Recent meteor events
By Dr. Mark D. Nispel | January 3, 2009
There have been several recent large meteor events in the last few
months. There are more and more people on the lookout for these
events, some equipped with full-sky cameras. So it is not surprising
that they are being reported and captured more frequently.
See:
On Sept 25, 2009, a large meteor fireball (100 times brighter than a full moon) was observed over the Great Lakes and Ontario:
