(meteorobs) NASA's "fireball season" - significant effect or myth?

[Pat]

Using Mike Hankey's fireball data:
Just events with over 50 observations the biggest months are Feb (by far), March, Jan...then Nov/Dec tie.

The months with the most number of fireballs is: Nov, Dec, Jan, then Oct.

The months with the biggest average observers (size/number) is Mar (not even counting the NY event), Feb, April

So in general the months of Feb/Mar have the largest fireballs, and Nov/Dec have the most fireballs.
