Sorry for bad English.

"I wonder if the IMO is interested in negative reports? "

Certainly if you calculate the ZHR (time, elevation, magnitude limit, 
etc).

I think that this it's very important because in the future can occur 
a outburst of Arietids and we need to know the usual ZHR of they
and too because we need know the numeric rapport between the radio 
rate and the visual rate.

There is two problems with Arietids, the low hight of radiant during 
the visual observations and the little duration of each observation: 
this do a big correction on the data for calculate the ZHR and a big 
number it's all time bad for to know the real ZHR.

I add a warning not linked to the Arietids: around middle June there
is a meteor shower linked to Icarus (1566) it's interesting to have 
more data on it.

Best greetings.
