 Here is a qualitative report from my home WSW
 of Boulder, Colorado. Skies mostly clear, moon bright,
 dawn even brighter by end of observing period.
 Observed from 5:17 am to 5:38 am MDT. Nine meteors
 observed, all plausibly radiating from somewhere
 to the southeast (toward Aldebaran) from Capella.
 All meteors seen about as bright as Capella or up
 to a few magnitudes brighter. (Sky condition good
 enough to have seen somewhat fainter meteors, but
 none seen.) No sporadics during period.

 7 of the 9 meteors occurred during two ~1-minute
 intervals at about 5:21 am and about 5:30 am MDT.
 During each of these spurts there was a pair of meteors
 separated by only a few seconds. All meteors viewed
 centrally and high up in the sky exhibited short
 trains lasting 1 - 2 seconds. I had a visual
 impression that most of the meteors "flared"
 more than is typically the case, as if they varied in
 brightness with a period of 0.05 sec.

 Best,

 Clark
