(meteorobs) Major Draconid outburst under way: CONFIRMATION!

[Michel Vandeputte]

First visual confirmation from eastern Europe (J. Koukal from Czech Republic and a observer from Hungary): visual outburst estimated at ZHR 40-50 with high population index. Some brighter Draconids were captured  by video. Jacub is a very experienced observer! 

Benelux clouded out....

Long trains,

> CMOR radar is reporting a major Draconid outburst, commencing at 16 UT. Shower radar rates are at 1000 meteors per hour, which is unprecedented for the Draconids. This is greater than last year, and 5x the 2005 level. I am asking our European colleagues to look for anything visual.
