Hi George,   Sorry for the delay in writting back to you. Many thanks for your interesting, prompt explanation! I am aware about the +- minimum amd maximum relative orbital speeds that meteors can attain on atmosphere entering, depending on how they encounter Earth. What surprised me was that

    Hello Jose,Iâm not sure of the source...perhaps from IMOâs Meteor Observing Guidebook? I donât have a copy handy anymore, So Iâm gonna try to wing it with the interpretation that I got from it all. Basically, meteoroids coming from parent objects in the asteroid belt, have a relatively slow o
