Its been a busy week for the Lunar Meteorite Hunter as it is bombarded by fireball reports from all different parts of the country.
Exactly why these meteors are coming into the atmosphere at this time is unknown. NASA and NOAA have yet to publish any reports on this phenomenon

The Arietid daylight meteor shower from June 6 to 12 2015
The Arietids are the fifth strongest shower of the year.
Ironically, most people never notice this relatively intense shower as it peaks in broad daylight.
This daytime meteor shower has a very broad peak lasting almost five days. The best time to watch will be any day during the early morning hours of June 6 – June 12 2015.
Arietids are ‘Earthgrazers’, so meteors which enter at shallow angles and streak across very long arcs in the sky.
