The rare possible reapperence of the Delphinid meteors seen
in 1930 on the morning of June 10/11 was possibly seen. They
seemed to be scarse or nonexistent. I was able to observe at
our cabin at Mountaon Meadows, West Virginia from 2:10 AM to
4:30 AM EDT and saw 3 possible candidates, including a nice
yellow-orange -3 magnitude DEL with a 12 second train seen at
4:17 AM EDT. The other two were of 3rd magnitude, and 4th
magnitude seen at 2:12 AM EDT and 4:04 AM EDT respectively.
Three meteors from the Xi Draconids, five meteors from the
Antihelion source, and two from the Daylight Arietids were
also seen, along with 18 sporadics. Although I was looking
for them, no June Lyrids were seen. One of the ARI meteors
seen was an Earth Grazer with a long trail, and they were
both of 2nd magnitude with a lovely blue-green color.
