Scientific paper

Results and reports submitted to the SPA Meteor Section for November and December, 1999, are summarized, except for the Leonid details already discussed [1-3]. The Taurids received some useful coverage in early November, without anything unusual being detected. A brilliant fireball accurred around 22h10m UT on November 28 over southeast Ireland, after which about 271 g of L6 chondritic meteorites were recovered near Leighlinbridge, County Carlow, Ireland, the first recovered meteorite fall in the British Isles since 1991. Two other bright fireballs accurred on November 27-28 and 29-30 over Europe as well. December 13-14 saw the highest Geminid ZHRs, 100 +- 10, during a well-observed Geminid epoch. Radio data showed strong echo counts on both December 13 and 14, with the latter date (lambda approx 263 deg, eq. J2000.0) producing the highest counts generally, but with no specific clear maximum time. The Ursid peak was detected by radio only, giving a very weak showing in most data sets especially around lambda = 269-270 deg.
