The past month or so has been difficult for meteor observing from both San Diego and Tucson. Though it has rarely rained this winter, the past few months have been plagued by clouds.
Last night finally saw clear skies over both sites. Even with the clear skies, activity remains at its normal low March levels. Half of the meteors detected in Tucson appear to radiate from the antihelion region in Virgo. This continues a trend from the past week.
We also say goodbye to the Gamma Normids (GNO). This minor shower is best observed from the Southern Hemisphere and is difficult to observe from the US. Over the past 2 weeks, one possible GNO was seen over San Diego while none were picked up over Tucson.

Someone please answer this….Sunday, March 22nd, I was driving home on Highway 14 (washington State) going East… In the NE sky I saw a bright light streak across the sky then disappear. What was this?
