Hello,

By the way, a possible outburst of alpha-Circinids is predicted
for today, it is described in the paper "Meteor showers and their
parent comets" by P. Jenniskens. The maximum time 5:44 UT on 5 June
2011 (well, just right now, as I'm writing the message), radiant
RA=218, Dec=-70, trail missing distance is only -0.00001 AU! No
entry velocity information, but perhaps it is around average, 35-50 km/s.

I know this information should be posted earlier, but maybe even now
it is not too late for observing attemts.

Best regards, Mikhail Maslov
