Don’t confuse a meteor outburst with a meteor shower. Plenty of meteors enter the Earth’s atmosphere daily. A meteor shower is an annual event. Check the glossary on this site for more details. Thank you so much for the comments!

Very little has been established for the shower with any certainty, and it's possible it may be a periodic source. The few attempts to observe its peak in recent years have generally found very low activity, and sometimes nothing obvious at all.
