NEOs (Near-Earth Objects) (2000 YA),(2003 XV),(2011 WU74),(2011 WV74) will be making close approaches in December 2011. Increased Meteor/Fireball activity is projected just prior (2-3 days), on, or just after their passing. If you have a chance to get out in the early early morning you just might see one of these wonders! Have your cameras ready.
