I rather doubt that brightness estimate at 90 meteor/min are reliable. In
Spain I observed about 30/min at max and it was very close to the upper
limit. When there were these bunches of 5 or 6 meteors at a time my own
estimates became really poor.

So far as I know it was only Bob and Pierre who started to BEEP,
whereas all other continued to estimate brightnesses.
