I stumbled out about 2.30 this morning and during a 15 min period saw 3 swift, short-trailed meteors.

The fainter pair were about Mag 3 at their brightest. The first only had a short trail of about 1 degree and 2 degrees for the second. I was momentary stunned and confused by the first, as this was the shortest trail that I have ever seen.

The brighter meteor was aprox Mag 2 and had a trail of about 4 to 5 degrees.
