(meteorobs) 3 fireballs observed 4:30am 11/8 from USA (west coast)

Two possibilities are new showers detected in Sirko Molau's decade of video observations. Two are currently active.

One is the Northern Apex meteors, witha current radiant between the feet of Ursa Major; these would be fast meteors. I report then in my observations as NAP/sm68 (Sirko Molau's shower 68)

The other is a radiant in Northern Pisces, between the tip of Trangulum and the nearest part of Pisces; these are slow meteors only 20 km/sec, even slower thatn the Taurids. This is Sirko's shower 69.
