Scientific paper

The meteor outburst predicted from the Earth's encounter with the 1392 and 1405 dust ejecta of comet 8P/Tuttle was observed from California using video and photographic techniques. At the same time, five Global-MS-Net stations in Finland, Japan, and Belgium counted meteors using forward meteor scatter. Here, we present an account of the effort and some preliminary results that confirm the return of the Ursid outburst with a maximum at 8h06m +- 07 UT, December 22, when activity peaked at ZHR approx 90. The Ursid rates were above half peak intensity during 4.2 hours. The relative contribution from both dust trails to the outburst is discussed.
