Have your cameras ready for a capture!
Known NEO asteroids will pass safely but their debris and unknowns are likely to produce Green Fireball and Bolides this Fri, Sat, Sun. Get out and watch!
UPDATE 27FEB2011
New NEO Discoveries will push heavy meteor activity into March; March 2011 may be a very exciting month! (see table below)

Mississauga Ontario, At 3:15am I was walking my two dogs, when I saw a blue vertical streak of bright light in the sky. A second streak of light appeared seconds later. Hoping someone can confirm, or give some info on what it was?
