Several meteor clusters were observed by the video cameras deployed within the Czech Republic in recent years. Moreover, we also obtained data on another cluster which was detected above the Southern America.

In this talk the basic data on the selected meteor clusters, their atmospheric trajectories, and 3D distribution of the fragments will be provided. For example, a cluster consisting from a fireball and four fainter meteors was observed on August 23, 2020. It was a relatively compact cluster with smaller meteoroids up to 30 kilometres from the main body. Possible origin of the clusters will be discussed, too.
