                            Mathias, West Virginia - August 12, 2015  

We had very good transparency and good Perseid rates for a couple hours last 
night. Although the average Perseid was about 3rd magnitude, the brightest one 
was a beautiful -3 magnitude blue-green colored Perseid bolide with a 5 second 
train!  The Perseid rates were remarkably consistent for both hours, although the
only minus magnitude Perseid was the bolide seen at 8:26 UT.  Three Perseids 
were of 0 magnitude.
