I had very clear skies for most of the night and decided to get out and
count/plot meteors, though we're between major showers. I observed between
8:00 - 9:05 UT Dec. 26. LM near 5.0 with some high clouds moving in by the
end. I was watching high in the Northwest. Only 4 meteors seen, and 2 were
Sporadic. But from the speed and direction, I'm almost sure that one was a
late Ursid while another was an early Quadrantid. Is this possible? I
realize that both showers are known for very sharp, short lasting peaks,
and that we're almost four days past the Ursid peak and nine days away from
the Quadrantids peak. I just wanted to throw this out there! Paul Z.
