Cool !! I wonder how the dispersion plays out year to year? Is the average number close year to year? At any rate, it's just a matter of time until a big one gets through and re arranges some landscape.

I saw the one that flashed over Virginia a few weeks ago... I was driving the grain truck for my BIL in Indiana-- just left the elevator out in the country and was heading east back towards his farm, and saw the bright white/greenish flash in the ESE sky near the horizon... VERY cool!

Greenish Flash: I have seen a number of such flashes in the night sky over the years. I wonder what the chemical constituent is that causes this color in those meteorites?
Copper?
