Sounds like a great show, reports from gove were good.
One orionid (i presume) lasted a full 6 seconds was green & disappeared over the horizion
There was obviously a lot of meteor activity on that night. As we stepped off the plane in Rocky, I saw a Bolide falling to the eastern horizion, that split in 2 as it disintergrated , & that was under the glare of the airport lights.
