Nice - especially the second one! This morning at about 03:30 UT (10:30 pm CDT on the 12th) I saw a beautiful Perseid like this one, with the green part of the train much longer, fly from just NW of Polaris to about 7 degrees south of Alkaid in the Big Dipper. Perhaps magnitude -1 - the best Perseid I have ever seen!
