(meteorobs) Meteor Observations - 04/01/14 - Mathias, WVa

[pzeller1966]

  I'm not sure if this is anything close to confirmation, but during two
hours of meteor observing before dawn on Sunday April 6, I saw a
medium-speed meteor cross from Corona Borealis to the south part of Bootes,
that also could have originated near the Head of Draco.
