Abstract
The Brazilian Meteor Observation Network - BRAMON - reports the discovery of two new meteor showers, initially observed after a search in its own database. For the meteor shower #797 EGR, it is listed one meteor in 2014, eight meteors in 2015 and three meteors in 2016 (two are in the BRAMON database and one in the EDMOND database), occurring between solar longitudes of 77 and 89 degrees. The average radiant position is in right ascension of 342.3 degrees and declination of -51.39 degrees. For the meteor shower #798 ACD, it is listed two meteors in 2014 (one meteor in the BRAMON database and one meteor in the EDMOND database), eleven meteors in 2015 (ten meteors in the BRAMON database and one meteor in the base of EDMOND data), six meteors in 2016 and four meteors in 2017, occurring between solar longitudes of 120.7 and 139.7 degrees.
