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.

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.

***Readers and aurora viewers...If you capture meteors/fireballs while shooting the above expected aurora event tonight, I'd love to post them to my site (with full attribution of course!).

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!
