Hello Mateo, Ron, Phil, and List,

The Julian date might even make it a slow (28 km/s) but hefty Taurid -
theoretically speaking :-)

Geo Zay, where were the shower radiants (both TAURIDs and LEONID) at
about 11:30 hrs (Julian and Gregorian date) when Ensisheim fell?

Statistically, the maxima of meteor showers do not correlate with high
meteorite fall frequencies.


Regards,

Bernd
