                 Mathias, West Virginia - October 3/4, 2016

We had clear conditions that allowed for an hour of meteor observing 
again last night, looking primarily for any more OCC meteors. From 
1:42 to 2:42 UT, I saw two more slow OCC meteors at 1:42 and again 
at 2:36 UT.  The first OCC is what prompted me to start a formal recorded 
session.  They were of 2nd and 3rd magnitude respectively.
