Surprising New Meteor Shower

Authors: Clark M. Thomas

Billed as an either/or event, and possibly a storm, it turned out to be unlike any other cascade that I have witnessed over many decades of looking up. This observer’s essay covers its cometary origin; what we in Virginia saw and did not see; and my analysis of why it all appeared so unusual even to experienced stargazers.
