Hello Eric,
four days ago I tried to post the following text to the list but obviously
it didn't get through:
Estimated list-members,
sorry, in German only, but interesting regarding the question whether the
subjective impression of more meteoroids hitting earth correlates to an
objective fact:
http://www.sueddeutsche.de/wissen/678/462297/text/
Short summary:
Refering to Nasa expert David Morrison an increasing accumulation of
meteoritical material in the mud-layer at the deep sea bottom proves that
our solar system passes throgh a region of denser space-traffic during the
last few years. (With other words: Bassikounou, Chergach, Hosur, Tamdaght,
West, Lolland, Station 6 etc. - obviously not only just by chance.)
In this context the text also underlines the increasing probability of
bigger asteroids hitting our planet. But, alas, in contrary to the USA
nearly nothing seems to be done in Europe to reenforce programms for
monitoring the asteroidical traffic around earth.
Best regards,
Matthias

Subject: [meteorite-list] Fireballs From The Sky: Bombarded
Over the past few months or so I've been tracking many fireball sightings
and suspected new falls all over the world. Recently we've had no fewer
than 4 right here in the United States. Not to mention the Denmark fall,
Tamdaught, West, Westchester, Augusta, Sacramento, and the Merced
Fireball. And the largest meteorite fall in Canadian history Buzzard
Coulee! I'm sure I'm forgetting some.
Now another big event near MD, VA area:

<http://www.wtop.com/?nid=600&sid=1636442>
I asked this a week or so ago, but got very little response other than
"yeah sure".
Isn't this abnormally high meteor activity? Is our planet traveling
through a large field of asteroidal space debris right now? How can some
many fireballs and meteorite falls happen in such a short period of time
unless this were the case?

Eric Wichman
