(meteorobs) Was it really an Omicron Draconid outbu8rst instead?

Dear friends,

I do not wish to discount the possibility that these were Omicron 
Draconids, particularly since the very first meteor I ever saw, on 
July 4, 1956, from a site near Brandon, Vermont, wss probably an 
Omicron Draconid.   I did mention in my initial report thatr the Kppa 
Cygnid  association may be off since their maximum is more than two weeks away.

Whatever the source, there were a lot of meteors that night!


Sincerely

David H. Levy
