The predicted outburst of the Aurigid meteor shower (AUR # 00206) occurred during the night of August 31 - September 1, 2021. According to the data from the Belarusian and Ukrainian meteor video networks, the activity profile for this meteor shower during this night could be obtained and it turned out to be twin-peaked. The exact radiant coordinates (RA: 91.06 ± 0.13°, Dec: 39.12 ± 0.07°) and orbital elements of the Aurigids have been calculated for the peak activity of the meteor shower.
