Well, not one of the Aquarids. It was just a stray. It was flying in the wrong direction, from S to N. I saw it when almost directly overhead while sitting on my porch, and it flew right through the Dipper towards Polaris, finally flickering out just above the horizon. It was traveling very slow for a meteor, and it was bright, about mag -2. It flickered and sputtered, a pale green color. Just lovely. Quite lovely. About midnight, local time.
