I counted one Leonid twice, so corrected below:

                    Mathias, West Virginia - November 15, 2015  

We had a couple hours of excellent transparency from 6:02-8:02 UT
to allow for seeing the different meteors visible.  The NTA meteors 
were still the dominant known source with the brightest meteors. There
was only one NTA fireball (-3), but the average NTA was 1.2 magnitude.
Still some very nice yellow-green and yellow-orange NTAs.  One of the 
most interesting meteors was a slow red meteor coming from near the 
Great Square of Pegasus again.  However no ANDs were seen from the
traditional radiant. A few late ORIs and some early LEOs were seen, as 
well as a few NOO meteors.  There was a surge of sporadics the second 
hour.  A lone Bared Owl was heard in the distance a couple times.
