What's Hitting Earth? NASA Expands All Sky Camera Network 03MAR2011

From NASA MEO Huntsville, March 1, 2011: Every day about 100 tons of meteoroids -- fragments of dust and gravel and sometimes even big rocks – enter the Earth's atmosphere. Stand out under the stars for more than a half an hour on a clear night and you'll likely see a few of the meteors produced by the onslaught. But where does all this stuff come from? Surprisingly, the answer is not well known.
Now NASA is deploying a network of smart cameras...MORE

German Meteor Researcher Looking For Help With Wind Profiles During 08JAN2011 Germany Bolide Event...Posted 03MAR2011 By ELPALLSKY
Howdy, all
I am working on the southern Germany fireball of 08 Jan 2011, which produced sonic booms and some amazing videos and photographs. I’ve obtained German weather radar data for this event, but I could use the help of someone versed in the winds occurring at the time and could actually search for this one. If interested, please drop me a line at chondritehero@gmail.com. (There’s a story behind that email address, best told over beers.)

Aurora & Meteor Photo OP ! 02-03MAR2011

Space Weather News for March 1, 2011 http://spaceweather.com
GEOMAGNETIC STORM:  A solar wind stream hit Earth's magnetic field during the early hours of March 1st.  The impact sparked a polar geomagnetic storm that was, at first, minor, but the storm has been intensifying throughout the day.  If the trend continues, high-latitude sky watchers will likely witness bright auroras after nightfall on March 1-2. Northern-tier US states such as Maine, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Washington could be favored with photographic and/or visual displays.  Check http://spaceweather.com for updates.

California Green Meteor Fireball Reported 28FEB2011...

Email From MG Pasadena, CA:
I was in my back garden letting the dogs out walking north on my way back to the house. It was 10:23 PM PST. I saw a bright object falling in the northwest sky. I'd say it was about 320 or 325 degrees, so a bit more to the north than west. I first saw it appear at approx 65 or 70 degrees above the horizon, going almost straight down except a little to the left from my standpoint and disappear 20 to 30 degrees above the horizon. It was less bright than the other one I reported last Tuesday/Wednesday. But I think it just looked a bit smaller. It was traveling faster, more like shooting stars I've seen in the fast but it was brighter than those plus had a green glow though not as much as the one I saw last week. My zip is (code on file) . If you need my exact coordinates or you have any questions, pls let me know. 
Thank You MG... Great Report!

Update To 23FEB2011 NE US, SE Canada Fireball...

***EVENT UPDATE***

Northeast U.S.- Southeast Canada Green Fireball 23FEB2011

From Dr. Bill Cooke-NASA MSFC Huntsville AL 24FEB2011...
After quite a bit of work, the Meteor Physics group at the University of Western Ontario did manage to find video of this event on 2 of their all-sky cameras (ones located at McMaster and Elginfield). It was at extreme range (~300 km) and very close to the horizon, making trajectory determination difficult, but they were able to establish the following:
Time: 2011 Feb 23 10:14:44 UT
Speed: ~30 km/s
Begin point: 41.9537 N, 78.1265 W, height = 84.328 km
End point:  41.9112 N, 76.6969 W, height = 49.339 km (this when UWO cameras cut off, meteor extended farther to the east, but was not visible)
No radar or infrasound signature was detected. Because of the high speed, it is highly doubtful if this event produced meteorites.
I am attaching a couple of maps showing the trajectory and a video from the McMaster camera.
Hope this is of help.
Regards, Bill Cooke NASA Meteoroid Environment Office
