O! NEOs Close Approach June 2011 Green Fireballs Projected - Camera/Watchers Alert!

UPDATED!!!
N3Os (Near Earth Objects) Close Approach June 2011 Green Fireballs Projected
Cameras/Watchers Alert!
Earth will be heading into another period of green fireballs beginning
30MAY2011-17JUL2011 (main activity centered around 1JUN-6JUN and 13JUN-16JUN2011 unless more NEOs pop up) with events just prior to or just after the scheduled passings of
(2009 BD),  (2011 KE15), (2011 KV15), (2011 LT17) NEW!!!) and debris associated with them or other yet undiscovered NEOs.
I expect several more NEOs to be discovered yet for July.  Get out and enjoy some night sky during this period and perhaps you may see an O!

05 April 2011

NEOs Close Approach April 2011 Elevated Green Fireball Alert 4APRIL2011

Elevated Meteor Activity Projected- More Green Meteor Fireballs 
April 5 - April 15, 2011; 25APR-28APR.- 

ALERT UPDATE EVEN CLOSER!!! update 6APR2011
Asteroid 2011 GP28 0.2 LD

Just UPDATED 5APR2011
0.5 LD Asteroid 2011 GW9 just found prior to
 one-half Lunar Distance pass from Earth.
Close enough!!

2011 The "YEAR of Green Fireballs" Continues!




















Expect several more green fireballs to be seen from April 5 - April 15, 2011.
Three asteroids (2011 FT29) ,(2011 GZ2), (2011 FT53), will make a "close"
approach on 7APR-9APR and debris will be leading or trailing their passing.
12APR asteroid (2011 GE) will pass. I expect another asteroid or more will
be discovered by astronomers for a close approach for another event around 15APR2011.
  At the end of April, asteroids (2011 GJ3) , (2008 UC202), will give us even
more Green Meteor Fireballs between 25APR-28APR.
 There are at least another 10-15 NEOs to be discovered by astronomers yet
before the end of April so expect updates.
 - Do check back on this site.
  Have your cameras ready for a capture. Get outside to see if you can.
Hope we have some clear skies! Ready ??? 
Please get the word out on Facebook, Twitter, your favorite sites and
tell your friends or post on your websites or YouTube. There will be meteorites in April!!!
  If you see a meteor please email your report* LunarMeteoriteHunter@gmail.com 
Thank you! YOUR reports ARE most important!
