Scientific paper

Details from analyzed reports submitted to the SPA Meteor Section for the first quarter of 2004 are presented and discussed, with notes on some other events drawn to the Section's attention. A Quadrantid maximum in visual and radio results at about 04h UT on January 4 can be implied, perhaps with visual ZHRs of order 150-230, though moonlight made this value less reliable than the ideal. Some details are given on a meteoritic daylight fireball over northern Spain on January 4 at 16h46m UT, and another fireball over Belgium-Germany on January 21, at app. 05h33m UT. A mysterious `meteor storm' sighting from February 19/20 was almost certainly not meteoric, but the first observation of a meteor in the atmosphere of Mars from March 7, probably was. One more widely-seen fireball, this time for the UK, occurred around 22h03m UT on March 25/26, for which an approximate surface track could be established. An obituary for the author's father Peter McBeath (1923-2004), who died at the end of March, completes the article.
