(meteorobs) Bolide, not Perseid [time correction]

[Jodie Reynolds]

Given Deneb and Sadr are both in Cyg, and k-Cyg is active, and given
a little spitballing in the astrometrics - and given that k-Cyg
apparently is known to occasionally spit-up some bright flashy
things in the sky that in no way resemble a bolide, a fireball, or
anything else other than bright flashy things - I'm going to call it
a k-Cyg unless someone corrects me. ;-)

I couldn't find any pretty maps out there for kappa Cygnids, I think
my GoogleFoo is broken tonight.
