ALERT! - EXPECT A VERY ACTIVE MONTH FOR BOLIDES, FIREBALLS and METEORS!
There are currently  8  13 .15 16 17.18 19 20 21 22 23 known NEO Asteroids discovered that will pass within approximately 10LD or less, LD stands for "Lunar Distance", in the month of October; 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 03OCT until about the 15th so expect some asteroids that will go undetected. -Yellow highlighted cells indicate ALERT!

Two Daytime Meteors Witnessed Over US in 9 Days

Two Daytime Meteors Witnessed Over the US in 9 Days, one in Arizona and one in Louisiana,
... and BOTH likely produced meteorites. Hunters are currently scouring the fall areas for them.

The Flagstaff, AZ daytime bolide meteor was seen leaving a debris trail on 04OCT2014 at approximately 0900 MDT and then on 13OCT2014 at 1623 CDT the Shreveport, LA Loud Boom was heard and witnessed. We now have solid evidence including radar images of the debris clouds. Debris clouds from both events indicate meteorites have survived, and are yet to be found.

More details will be added later... off to bed.
