NASA's Close-Approach tables indicate a high number of recent asteroid discoveries. As such, we may be in for a busy period of meteor and/or meteorite sightings...throughout January and into February 2015. Keep your eyes to the skies (but be safe if driving, running, walking etc). Priority, obviously, to what's in front of you - rather than what's in the skies!

Asteroids / Comets: Seems Like We Are in a Very Busy Neighborhood

  NASA's Near-Earth Object Wide-field Survey Explorer (NEOWISE) spacecraft discovered and characterized 40 near-Earth objects (NEOs) in the first year after the mission was re-started in December 2013. Eight of the discoveries have been classified as potentially hazardous asteroids (PHAs), based on their size and how close their orbits could come to Earth's orbit.
  The mission has further observed and characterized 245 previously known near-Earth objects.
  From December 2013 to December 2014, NEOWISE discovered three new comets and observed 32 others. One of the others has turned into the brightest comet in Earth's night sky in early 2015, comet C/2014 Q2 (Lovejoy).

ALERT- Several MORE Large Meteors PENDING!
January 2015 Meteors
c2015 Dirk Ross
  There are currently 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 known NEO Asteroids discovered that will pass within approximately 10LD or less, LD stands for "Lunar Distance", in the month of January; expect that 10 or more NEOs will be discovered before month end. Be ready for some bolide, fireball, and meteor activity!
 Unfortunately we will be Moonblind for ground-based detection from 02DEC2014 until about the 11JAN2015  and from 28JAN-12FEB2015 so I expect several asteroids that will go undetected.
 There are four small mountan-sized asteroids that will safely pass this month.
