Between July 1984 and July 1985, 24 bright flashes were detected visually near the Aries-Perseus border by eight different observers at a total of 12 sites across Canada. One flash was photographed, and another was seen, by two observers at different locations. Their duration was usually less than 1 s. The estimated positions of 20 of the events and another seen in 1983 were close enough in the sky to suggest a common celestial origin. The photographed event, which was the brightest seen visually, reached m(v) = -1 and lasted about 0.25 s. It was located in Perseus at alpha(1950) = 03h10m34s + or - 15s, delta(1950) = +32 deg 03 arcmin 27 arcsec + or - 60 arcsec. The brightest star at this position on the POSS O plate has m(pg) = 17.
