Observer's comments:   Two visual captures this night, possibly from the same radiant.
Update:   I added a skymap overlay at the bottom of this page for the two meteors in question.

Below is an all sky map for the times of the two meteors.  It is difficult to plot radiants from a single camera view so this will
 have to serve as a rough approximation until more data appears.
