A meteor "outburst" is an unexpected, generally fairly intense, meteor shower. They are probably associated with extinct comets, but we don't know what the origin is.

Meteor "showers" occur when the Earth passes through the debris path left in the orbit of extinct or decaying comets. There are more than a dozen fairly predictable meteor showers, which are generally identified by the name of the astronomical constellation from which the meteors "appear to" radiate. For example, there's a pretty broad band of dust and pebbles that cross the Earth's orbit in early-to-mid August which come from the direction of the constellation Perseus; we call these the "Perseids", and are generally best seen between August 10 and August 13 each year.

What causes meteor?

A meteor shower is a celestial event in which a number of meteors are observed to radiate, or originate, from one point in the night sky. These meteors are caused by streams of cosmic debris called meteoroids entering Earth's atmosphere at extremely high speeds on parallel trajectories. Most meteors are smaller than a grain of sand, so almost all of them disintegrate and never hit the Earth's surface. Intense or unusual meteor showers are known as meteor outbursts and meteor storms, which may produce greater than 1,000 meteors an hour.[1]The Meteor Data Center lists about 600 suspected meteor showers of which about 100 are well established.[2]
