 Dutch observer Koen Miskotte (Ermelo, 52 deg. 18' N, 5 deg. 37' E) observed
 something which might have been the descending slope of a small meteor
 outburst on September 7/8 1996. In only 47 minutes effective observing time
 with a limiting magnitude near +6.3, he observed 13 meteors, of which 8
 came from a sharp radiant at RA 4h10m, dec. +47 (1950.0), close to mu
 Persei. The meteors had a Perseid-like velocity and were clustered in the
 early part of the observational interval.

--------
Isn't this pretty close to where the Delta Aurigids were located at around
that date?
Perhaps you were seeing these?
