NEOs Close Approaches DEC2013

NEOs Close Approaches DEC2013
At the time of the original posting there were 2 known  NEOS with an approach of 10LD or less; I expect a large increase from this number. ; currently there are now 9 known NEOs with an LD of less than 10 Lunar Distances.  Dec 2013 expect to see several large meteors, fireballs and even bolides!  Have all sky cameras ready, dashcams jammed and security cameras known and ready to roll.  Thank you!  File your sighting reports at
