 Dear Mr. Stomeo,

The meteors from the Draco radiant are very interresting indeed. This looks
like the same radiant (virtually same position!) of which George Zay and Bob
Lunsford noted low level activity some nights earlier, and from which I
noted a small outburst on June 15/16 1996 (see WGN (Journal of the
International Meteor Organization) 24:4 p. 115-118 (August issue 1996). This
is indeed very interresting. It strengthens the opinion that a real stream
has been acive.
