Dear Dr Kato,
     In the time interval Oct 8 17.35 - 21.00 UT I saw 10 yellow Giacobinid
flashes, with no or extremely short trails, spread over a rather large area
almost in zenith in the northwestern sky. They came in groups with short
intervals:
18.43  2 flashes about 1 minute interval
19.51  3 flashes about 2 seconds interval
19.57  2 flashes about 1 second interval, one mag 1
19.58  3 flashes about 1 second interval
About 20.45 one possible Giacobinid with a 0,5 degree long trail heading
towards Deneb.
Nice to see them, but I had expected more.
Regards,
Margareta Westlund, Uppsala, Sweden.
