Success. First launch at 4:58 EDT, 8:58 UTC. First trail  visible 7 or 8
minutes later below Antares.

 

Pretty Spectacular.

 

The 2 upleg releases, beneath Scorpio from my  location were sharp and
distinct like rapidly rising contrails forming.

 

All 5 downleg releases were fuzzier, and had two dimmer and fuzzier streaks
on either side. 

 

Since they were at meteor trail height, they distorted much like nice bright
fireball trains. Higher up the winds were left to right (E->W), then right
to left  (W-> E) lower. Still visible faintly ½ hour later.

 

My patience was rewarded!!
