Hello Geoff,

There are reports by experienced observers in Canada and California (a.o.
Bob Lunsford and Pierre Martin) which show definitely something happened on
June 22-23. They report uncorrected rates of up to 5-10 June Bootids per
hour, which is definitely more than usual, certainly at this date.
