We got a nice display of Aurigids from central Colorado. I recorded 51
overnight, including an Earth skimmer just minutes before the rise of
the radiant. The major activity happened over about an hour, right
around the predicted time of UT 11:30.

The glaring light beneath the meteor is the Moon, which shows just how
bright the Aurigid was."
