(meteorobs) An outburst of Eta Aquarid fireballs?

[James Beauchamp]

It looks like I got a possible correlation in hits around that time...
Looking back at the radar hits, I see the following events..
10:18:35Z - underdense (Head Echo Only)10:27:15 - underdense10:44:25 - underdense10:56:45 - underdense11:10:10 - head echo with delayed overdense signature 11:19:15 - underdense11:19:47 - intense underdense (head echo only)11:20:09 - underdense11:21:10 - Intense underdense (head echo only)11:22:31 - underdense11:28:05 - underdense11:28:47 - underdense11:32:21 - underdense11:42:30 - underdense11:43:52 - underdense11:49:31 - underdense11:57:32 - underdense11:58:02 - intense head echo11:58:15 - underdense12:00:17 - underdense12:04:21 - intense head echo12:14:49 - very nice overdense hit (Should have been visible, but we were clouded)12:26:15 - intense head echo12:30:30 NICE overdense trail with 10 second persistence and obvious doppler features12:49:32 NICE defined overdense trail with slender doppler "Snaking" signature

I forgot to add that, for my camera, that level of activity has been out of the ordinary for the past few weeks.

My camera picked up 7 meteors last night from 10:42 to 11:34 UT.  Not sure what the radiant was, but if you need further info, I'll try to help.

As you can see from this morning's automatic email (below), our New Mexico stations (the ones in the SE are clouded out) picked up an unusual cluster of eta Aquarid fireballs this morning around 11 UT. Did anyone else see similar?
