Of course, at least 2 or more would pinpoint the radiant, but only one
was seen! However, I think its incorrect to say "One meteor means
nothing". The meteor was observed traversing Draco and Cygnus. The path
of this single meteor traced backwards through the center of the bowl of
the big dipper. While its possible the radiant lay actually somewhere in
Draco or Ursa minor, its also most probable to have come from the
Linearids, because there is no known other radiant between. The path
length (20 deg) and moderate velocity also favor the Linearid radiant.
Actually, the Linearids should be fast (58 kps) and it is more likely that
it was a sporadic than an unknown shower, since based on evidence there was
at most a smattering of Linearids.
