(meteorobs) Scant notable fireballs over New Mexico in 2012 so far

Just noting casually:

Although the night skies have been relatively clear over New Mexico most 
of this past year there have been few fireballs larger than -8 or so. I 
am not aware of any fireballs large enough to have dropped meteorites. I 
have observed nightly with an all-sky camera and also monitor the New 
Mexico Sentinel network.

Nightly/daily radio results indicate a steady infall of small dust 
particles but larger "chunks" of space stuff seem to be relatively rare 
so far in 2012.
