In the early morning of September 4, there was a brief meteor shower outburst visible over California and Arizona with a radiant in the constellation Cassiopeia. It was recorded by low-light video cameras in the CAMS networks led by Peter Jenniskens (SETI Institute) and Nick Moskovitz (Lowell Observatory). The outburst revealed a weak annual shower that had not been mapped before, with a possible earlier outburst in 2014. The shower was caused by the crumbs of a yet-to-be discovered comet in a high-inclined orbit.
The announcement came out on September 8, 2924:
