(meteorobs) Extremely Fast Meteor

[Kenneth Drake]

Observing from the backyard Friday night (Nov.5) around 20:30 cst (Nov. 6.1 UT) 
under very clear skies 53 miles north of Houston Texas I was treated to a large 
number of sporatic meteors. One caught my attention due simply to its velocity. 
It was between 2nd and 3rd magnitude, white and had a ~12 degree track moving 
westish along the Cassiopia/Lacerta/Cepheus/Cygnus border. It had the velocity 
of a Leonid and I would not have even seen it if I had not been gazing at that 
location. It seemed far to early in the evening to be a Leonid or a Northern 
Apex member. Also, much to fast to be an early evening sporatic.

I'm having difficulty figuring what it might have been. Any ideas on this?
