V404 Cyg: violent short-term variations

   Colin Littlefield has reported new observations with
6 sec resolution.  The data showed fluctuations down to
the time resolution!  The data partly overlaps with
de Miguel's run, and the short-term variations well
agreed each other.  As already pointed out in
vsnet-alert 18742, the current variation looks very
similar to V4641 Sgr during the 2002 and 2003.
see e.g.

   Please continue the present excellent coverage.
Let's see whether the current phenomenon develops into
a major outburst as in 1989.
