George and Kevin:
Are you talking about fast meteors from the triangulum/aries region? If so,
these are indeed conspicuous (like last night!), though any real radiants
hard to establish. Our observers plotted a lot of them. Might be meteors
coming from the Apex, i.e. you see the Earth move through space and catch up
sporadic meteors. Peter (Jenniskens) wrote once about that in Radiant
(journal DMS), but have to look that up for more details.
Cheerio,
