We had a partly cloudy night, but there were several periods
of excellent transparency. We saw comet PanSTARRS and I saw
several Lyrid meteors, including a -5 fragmenting Lyrid bolide
that had a lovely yellow-blue-green color that left a nice 22
second train seen at 8:56 UT. I was able to get two hours of
meteor observing in from 7:18-9:18 UT. The results follow:
