Now, speaking of hoaxes, can someone tell me if there is a single authoritative site on the web that talks about debris from NEO's causing bolides from 3/6-3/9. After quite a bit of effort I have found only one website which mentions this, and it is not, as far as I can tell, an authoritative site.

In fact, as far as I can tell from authoritative sites, there are no major showers happening at the moment:

Moreover, I can find absolutely no authoritative websites about meteors which say they can be caused by debris from passing asteroids.

By posting information that is wrong, you risk people miscategorising possible UFOs as meteors (see my earlier post where I describe two objects I saw this evening!) Thus it is really important to have some kind of confirmation that what is posted is not just a hoax.

(see my earlier post where I describe two objects I saw this evening!).
I was nearing the first sharp left hander at the start of the lake when I noticed a bright object , sort of greenish in colour , out of the corner of my eye. The object was about 500 - 1000 ft altitude maybe over the middle of the lake. It was heading towards the opposite shore at quite a sharp angle towards the ground and was approx half a mile, probably less, away from me. I remember just before it hit the ground it began to shower debris of the color I described.
When the temperature of the surface reaches about 2200 K, which usually happens at a height of about 80 to 90 km, material from the surface will start to sublimate* from the surface and surround the meteor. These gases will then loose some of their energy through excitation**.
This phase of a meteor's life, where the melting surface gradually disappears due to evaporation, is also called the ablation phase.
