NEO Asteroids Close Approach September 2014

Thunderstones!
c2014 Dirk Ross, Tokyo

EXPECT A VERY ACTIVE MONTH FOR BOLIDES, FIREBALLS and METEORS!
There are currently ~~4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18~~ 19 known NEO Asteroids discovered that will pass within approximately 10LD or less, LD stands for "Lunar Distance", in the month of September; expect that 10 or more NEOs will be discovered before month end. Be ready for some bolide, fireball, and meteor activity!  We have FIVE small "mountain-sized" asteroids that will safely pass, but close enough for comfort!!! Unfortunately we will be Moonblind for ground-based detection from 03SEP until about the 16th so expect some asteroids that will go undetected. -Yellow highlighted cells indicate ALERT!
