There were at about 1-2 min interval. Very slow, orange, quite big, with no queue but a kind of halo of fire around it when it passed above my head.

The outburst lated about 2 or 3 minutes.

Below the image of one of these two meteors.

The parent comet of the Gamma Delphinids is unknown. The basis for this reappearance is too long for me to describe but can be found in this article: http://dmsweb.home.xs4all.nl/publications/icaruslp-final.pdf

I hope this helps!

I had a camera pointed below it to the south, but these weren’t in my camera’s field of view and were too faint anyway.

faint ( +3 ish ) with hazy skies ( could make out the milky way ) with periodic clouds. Observed from approximately
4:15 to 4:50. Location southeast of Daytona Beach, FL.

Observed from Lakewood , CO; 0220-0410 MDT; conditions were excellent for a light-polluted suburb.
5 meteors observed, 3 were Delphinids (2 sporadic)
track info
0237 MDT – from Polaris toward Muscida (E of U Major pointers) – swift & bright
0308 MDT – from Aldib (Draco) to Polaris – swift & very bright
0314 MDT – Deneb (Cygnus) thru Cepheus tw Polaris – long, fast, varied in brightness ending with a flash. trail remained 4-7 secs

The fireball was in the southern sky and was heading directly south.

If so, which one? If not, then what is the basis for suggesting that there may be a reappearance in 2013?
