Mysterious Spate Of Sky Flashes
Bill Katz and a small group of Canadian amateur astronomers have accumulated a total of 14 observations of bright flashes in Aries in just a year or so.
"Point" meteors (meteors seen head-on) usually appear as flashes like this, but to see 14 in the same region of the sky in such a short span of time is truly remarkable.
(Katz, Bill; "Chasing the Ogre," Astronomy, 13:24, April 1985.)
