Remarks: Hazy conditions yielded poor LM's tonight.
I noticed clouds rolloing in low from the east at 03:28 and
officially ending the period at that time to retain a clear
FOV for the period. Meteors 1 and 2 were plotted. Meteor
1 lined up perfectly with the SIA radiant with proper velocity.
It had a very long path length (about 25-30 degrees ending about
60 degrees from the radiant) and this gave me some doubt, however.
Since this was the night of peak activity for SIA's, I listed it as
possible.
