Meteoroids Associated with the Halloween Asteroid '2015 TB145' Could Put on a Spooky Meteor Shower
Posted to YouTube by nemesis maturity 3,401 views

All eyes are on the "Great Pumpkin" asteroid ahead of its Halloween close approach. Asteroid 2015 TB145 still poses no threat to Earth, but it does continue to deliver some surprises. The latest observations reveal meteoroids associated with the asteroid are unlikely to hit Earth, but, if anything changes, they could put on a show for some skywatchers, particularly in Asia.

The 1,300-foot-wide asteroid 2015 TB145 was discovered less than three weeks ago and will be zoom past Earth at a completely safe distance of approximately 310,000 miles. Without any fear of impact, the asteroid provides an ample opportunity for scientific research, according to NASA. The latest observations indicate asteroid 2015 TB145 may be a dormant comet complete with meteoroids.http://www.ibtimes.com/halloween-aste...

On Friday October 30, 2015 @ approximately 11:30pm, I witnesses a large bright green fireball type object with a long tracer tail appearing to dissipate in the north west sky of Winnipeg. This lasted approximately 4-5 seconds and then 7 seconds disappeared. I was travelling Route 90 northbound approaching the Perimeter hwy and the object traveled very quickly down south south west direction.
Thank you for the opportunity to share :)

There are currently 1, 8,10, 11,12  18 known NEO Asteroids discovered that will pass within approximately 10LD or less (LD stands for "Lunar Distance"), in the month of October 2015.
I expect that 10 or more 10LD NEOs will be discovered before month end.

 Expect some spectacular bolides,  fireballs, and meteors this month and especially large ones 3-5 days before and following the passing of  7 small mountain-sized NEO asteroids and 1 comet, diameters ranging from 500m- 2.6km,  that will safely pass this month.

 Be ready for some bolide, fireball, and meteor activity!
Cameras Ready!
