[Mikhail Maslov]

My greetings.
An observation on May 14. The sky finally cleared and I took a chance
to watch. The sky transparency was moderate. Meteor activity turned to
be quite low. I saw 6 meteors during almost 2 hours.
They wery generally short, excluding the very last, which had -3 mag.
and left the train for about 3 seconds. More interesting is the fact
that the majority of meteors, 5 of 6, moved from northern direction,
and 2 of these 5 in their direction are suitable for eta-Lirids
radiant. So meteors at 17:35 and
18:45 UT could be the candidates for this shower membership.
