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
