Earthgrazing meteors can be seen as the radiant approaches the horizon. I saw two Leonids this morning, an extremely bright Earthgrazer through the French dome slot at approximately 12:30 a.m. EST (05:30 UT) and a much fainter one that emerged directly from Leo's sickle shortly before 3:00 a.m. as I was locking up the administration building at the Naylor Observatory.
