Leonid meteor moving up and away from radiant. Near St. George, Utah. Approx. 03:13 AM MST, 18 Nov 2001. Made with our Sony VHS-c camcorder (enlarged, slowed, and digitized by Media Relations, Auburn University). This was the brightest Leonid captured on our camcorder, which was pointed at the Leo radiant from c. 12:35 to 03:35 AM MST. Note that object appears to rotate or wobble and is trailing smoke. Actual time of illuminated flight was 0.5 sec. Video by D.T. King, Jr. and Lucille Petruny.
