This is my log of the 1 Sept event.

1 Sept 2007 When the sky cleared, quite as a surprise after checking every few minutes, I stepped out, and immediately saw an Aurigid meteor. I quickly got my lounger out and with a view of about 40% of the sky saw 2 more in the next 2 minutes. I watched till 0642 and did not see a single one more.

0614 -2 mag 7 degrees trail, very near the radiant, short duration train of 2 seconds and distinctly green in hue.

0615 +3 mag 10 degree trail, no train and color was not obvious as this was near the edge of my field of vision.

0617 +1 mag 15 degree trail and went behind a tree. No train noticed . Perhaps a greenish tint.

Transparency mag +4
Temp 54 F
Alpine Tx 79830
Lat 30.3580 N
Lon 103.6610 W
Elevation 1,372 meters
Times are CDT
My watch was 20 seconds fast compared to the Naval Obs clock

Keep up the good work and I hope my data can fill in a piece of just about as far East data as you will likely get. I will answer any questions you have about this data promptly. I am impressed at the great skill with astro mechanics that are obvious with such an accurate prediction.
