(meteorobs) Xi Draconids on meteorobs
Seeing mention of Xi Draconids in Bob Lunsford's weekly activity
outlook for June 8-14, I looked at the online calendars of which
I'm aware and did not find them listed! Then I went to Google
and found that they were discussed at length in many meteorobs
messages in June 1996:

I believe the threads began with an observing report by George
Zay and a follow-up about the same night by Bob Lunsford:
June 12 - http://www.tiacdot net/users/lewkaren/meteorobs/msg00283.html
June 12 - http://www.tiacdot net/users/lewkaren/meteorobs/msg00298.html
It appears that the most detailed analyses were by Gary Kronk:
June 19 - http://www.tiacdot net/users/lewkaren/meteorobs/msg00358.html
June 20 - http://www.tiacdot net/users/lewkaren/meteorobs/msg00377.html
June 21 - http://www.tiacdot net/users/lewkaren/meteorobs/msg00388.html
and finally Bob Lunsford submitted a summary:
June 22 - http://www.tiacdot net/users/lewkaren/meteorobs/msg00396.html
I found it to be a very interesting discussion! For recent
arrivals, it should be noted that the 1996 messages predate the
Yahoo/eGroups archive, which begins with January 1997.
Also discussed that month were the June Lyrids.
In following up on some things, I also found via Google that in
at least a few places online the June Bootids are called the June
Draconids.
