Hi All

Recently I've done some reading on the Feb 9, 1913 meteor procession.  
The following papers (and others) will be of interest to those who 
follow reentries.

The following paper quantifies C.A. Chant's conclusion about the meteors 
being of 'satellitic' in nature.

The following provides much of the raw data collected by C.A. Chant the 
principal investigator of the day.

Regards,
Scott
