PERSEID PATROL - 2008

FLASH 4:06 22:12

FROM NASA: Mr Spellman, That's a nice looking flash! We finished our observations on Thursday night and weren't looking on Friday night due to the excessive lunar phase. We are planning to carry a separate list on our impact website called something like "unconfirmed-but-likely" impact candidates. We want to recognize those who are catching flashes when we aren't looking and hope that someone else can confirm them. These multi-frame flashes with proper decay curves are pretty sure bets. ~Danielle Moser
