I know.
They are both really nice pictures though. That's why they show up in relation to just about every fireball report.
i feel like a dumby. They should tell people that is the pic they are using!
Thank you for telling me. BLONDE MOMENT apparently.

This one was right over top of me in Louisville, Ky. I am with you...why so many all of the sudden? Our meteorologist on our news station here said it is not uncommon.
Here is a pic of the one sighted in Louisville. (from the news not my pic)
Here is an amateur video of it as well.

Cheesy... yeah, I think there are a lot of meteors these days. I even "woke up" this morning to the radio news saying that there had been a meteor strike somewhere in Eastern Europe.

Yeah this Comet Ison is really worth the watch, NASA Deep Impact comet hunter probe has been declared dead a week ago.

These changes are concerning if you ask me.

Or...more people are reporting their sightings to the AMS.
As the graph below illustrates, the number of reports filed with the AMS has been increasing over the last few years. The level of traffic on the site, the popularity of the site and improvements to the software are all contributing to more reports being filed. More people are able to find the site and more easily complete the report application. These factors contribute to an increase in witness reports being filed with the AMS.
amsmeteors.org...
More reports does not equal more meteors.
can meteorites be tracked by satellite? just curios as to why the gov doesn't keep up with these events\numbers? perhaps they do and i just don't know where to look, i dunno.
