We had partly cloudy to clear conditions that allowed some good 
meteor observing yesterday evening.  From 0:02 to 0:52 UT, with
50% obstruction from clouds and a building, I saw only one OCC, 
but it was a slow 1st magnitude beauty.  It was seen at 0:13 UT.  
It had a 1st magnitude yellow head that left a 3rd magnitude wake
that continued along the same trajectory for a couple more degrees
with the same speed. A really strange and cool meteor.

After clearing up a while later, from 2:00 to 3:00 UT two more possible 
slow OCC meteors were seen at 2:02 and 2:14 UT that were 3rd and 
2nd magnitude respectively. They were slower than the STAs seen.
