by John Bortle, USA:

LEONID METEORS 1995
Various reports, including a summary from J. Rendtel,
International Meteor Organization, indicate that the Leonids in
1995 were evidently less pronounced than in 1994 (cf. IAUC 6109).
Rendtel's data from numerous observers delineate a rather broad
plateau for maximum activity extending from Nov. 17.9 to 18.4 UT
(ZHR about 25-35).
