(meteorobs) Swift Sees 5th Magn. GRB!

Hi all meteor observers,

Just a small question relative to the discussion:

I thought it was the elevation of the meteor above horizon which was a factor
limiting the apparent speed of meteors. Does radiant elevation also influence
their apparent speed ? Why ? 

Thanks in advance for your answers !
