Unless I was looking at the wrong object, 
Meteor 1-17 (07274, 74-025A) was varying a 
lot earlier tonight, from as bright as +3.0 to 
invisible.  I wasn't expecting such behavior 
and didn't get stopwatch clicks and wasn't able 
to get a sense of how regular the variations 
were.  The one PPAS report was steady, and I
think so were the two obs I found that Russell
Eberst reported.  I was observing from the Ney
Museum site.
