Friday evening local time (about 3:26:49 July 27 UTC), from

the suburbs just west of Austin I saw a meteor with a very

nice terminal burst. It appeared about 20-25 degrees up in

the north-northwest and went almost straight down, maybe

about five degrees and then -- flash! My guess was that it

was maybe first magnitude. I inquired with local astronomy

club members, and some who were about 120 km northwest of

my location saw it go down due north of them, about 45-50

degrees up in the sky. So I think maybe (I'm guessing) it

was close to overhead perhaps above Lometa or Goldthwaite,

Texas (roughly 120 km west of Waco, I think). I know it

wasn't a fireball, but it sure was a picture-perfect

terminal burst. It looked blue-white to me.

In later June and again in the last week or so (after two

or three weeks of cloudy-rainy tropical weather), almost

every evening that I've been out, I've seen two or three

meteors going straight down in various parts of the sky.

These are almost all long before local midnight daylight

saving time. Austin is latitude 30.3 north, 97.7 west.
