February NEO Asteroids 2016

Please report your meteor sightings to this website for posting- Remember IF you are looking for a report and no one reports then everyone lacks information; thank you.
http://lunarmeteoritehunters.blogspot.jp/2000/11/meteor-fireball-report-form.html

There are currently 3,4 9 known NEO Asteroids discovered that will pass within approximately 10LD or less (LD stands for "Lunar Distance"), in the month of February 2016. I expect that 10 or more 10LD NEOs will be discovered before month end.

Expect some spectacular bolides, fireballs, and meteors this month and especially large ones 3-5 days before and following the passing of 4 small mountain-sized NEO asteroids, diameters ranging from 500m- 2.8.km, that will safely pass this month.

Be ready for some bolide, fireball, and meteor activity!
Cameras Ready!

Initial Sighting Reports-
01FEB2016 Tim Stevens Armada, Michigan 7:30pm eastern time 5-10 seconds Facing west, traveled from north to south Bright ball with tail Bright as moon Had a tail or stream. None

01FEB2016 Derek Saginaw, MI 19:28 EST 3-4 seconds Facing west, it traveled right to left (so north to south); based on the increased brightness as it descended, I expect it had a slight west to east path as well The streak was white but the fireball meteor had a blue tint to it as it approached terminal velocity. At end it was approximately 4-5 times brighter than Venus None I could distinctly see the glowing outline of the meteor itself in its last 300-400 milliseconds of visibility before burning out; I estimate this occured about 30 degrees above the horizon.
