NEOs April 2012 Approach - Increased Green Fireball Meteor Activity Expected
NEOs (Near Earth Objects)
(2012 EG5),
(2012 FS52),(2012 FQ62), (2012 FS52), (2012 FH58),(2012) GD,
(2012 FA57), (2007 HV4), (2008 UC202), will be making close approaches to Earth this month and accompanying them will be debris travelling proceeding them and following that has not yet been detected. Expect increased increased green fireball activity this month. Get outside and observe and if you have a camera or security camera try to make a capture. Keep looking up. - LunarMeteorite*Hunter, Tokyo
