Leonid?

Know little of astronomy but i do remember
Nov 1968 stuck in a school hall listening
to boring speaches when the best display
of my life-time of Leonids was doing its stuff.


I doubt it was a desending firework rocket but as
i bothered to take details - if there is anyone collates reports
I was at 50 deg, 55.2 N ; 1 deg, 23.2W (St Denys,Southampton)
Today,Time 21.01.45 GMT if South West Trains platform info sigs
are correct.
NW from me descending about 10 deg from directly vertical
