2014 The Year of "CERTAIN Uncertainty" ™; Meteors, Asteroids, Comets, and MORE!!

NEOs Close Approaches for December 2014

NEOs Close Approaches for December 2014
Update- Alert for end of month large meteors!
Meteors December 2014
c2014 Dirk Ross...Tokyo
There are currently 3 8 9 10 11 14 16 17 19 known NEO Asteroids discovered that will pass within approximately 10LD or less, LD stands for "Lunar Distance", in the month of December; 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 02DEC until about the 12DEC  and from 30DEC-JAN2015 so expect several asteroids that will go undetected.  There are three small mountan-sized asteroids that will safely pass this month

Initial Meteor Sighting Reports-
27DEC2014 Sybil Fountain Hills, AZ. USA approx 19:30 MST not sure - was initially obscured by surrounding buildings and vegetation. I saw it for about 5 sec W to E bright green rimmed with yellow Quite bright in a dark sky.. Can't compare with something as large as sun o moon. Certainly no shadow effect but if you were looking in that direction you could not have missed it. Slight fragmentation One of the largest and brightest I've ever seen

27DEC2014 jenna Hulette Apache Junction, Az United States 19:00 MT 4 -5 seconds seen north traveling east Orange turned blueish BRIGHT white with explosions as it was breaking apart moon yes started north and travelled east over Superstition Mountain.. If you hold your fist at arms length .. that's how big it was in the sky... lasted about 4-5 seconds.. started out orange but turned very bright bluish white as it started breaking apart with explosion...
