| (2009 BS5) Asteroid close approach 1-1-11 (c)NASA/JPL/Caltech |
Expect an increase in fireball/bolide/meteor/meteorite activity for the rest of January 2011!
We have already had and will have more
bright green fireballs-meteors-bolides
as we approach the date of 11JAN2010, TODAY!!! and until the end of the month.
Cameras/ cellphones ready? Please email if you capture one. LunarMeteoriteHunter@gmail.com
Three to watch are Asteroid 2009 BS5 and 2011 AH5 with lunar distances (LD) of 3.4
(1 305 600Km = ~811262 miles, NOT exactly real close but close enough):

hey, I was sure where to post this. I have been searching for if anyone just saw what i saw!!! I am in Bossier City, Louisiana. I was walking my dogs at 9p.m. CST, and thought I was seeing a shooting star, until it got huge, continued to fall, and turned bright green! It fell behind our apartment complex, and I am guessing it hit the ground, because in that direction the sky lit up bright green. It was crazy, I've never seen anything like it, and I wanted to share.
