(meteorobs) Ursid outburst in progress - from Peter Brown

[Michel Vandeputte]

Last good Ursid return, for me, is already 14 years back; the small outburst on December 22 in 2000... 
This night was clouded out...

Kind regards

Hopelessly overcast in eastern Ontario as well!  We have a freezing rain warning to make matters worse.

Hello Peter,  Bill,  and all !I just return from an observation here in south-eastern France, started at 21h30 UT and ended at 01h15  UT. I saw a good activity from the ursids : a dozen per hour under a sky with LM 5-5,5 and a low  radiant. I think we can have a ZHR nearly 50 in this conditions .
Reports come later.
I hope that other observers can confirm this outburst.Clear skies !Jens Lacorne
