It will not produce great results. The next meteor shower the Lyrids is in April and will produce about 15 - 20 meteors per hour. I do not believe there will be any mjor meteor shower activity in 2010 in March. No problem with all the questions, I am glad I can help. - Meteor Mark Betsy,

I have learned a lot! Can you tell me if there are any meteor showers that occur yearly in March that can be seen in the U.S.? I have heard about the Virginids and Beta Leonids and wonder if they happen every year and can be seen in the U.S. I have heard there are some like the Gamma Normids that can only be seen in the Southern Hemisphere. Do you know which, if any, showers will occur in 2010 in March that can be seen in the U.S.? Thanks, I know these are a lot of questions! Mark, thanks for your helpful site. I have learned a lot!

You are not crazy. Most likely this was the planet Venus.

Yellowish-orange and HUGE. I'm in Minnesota. Do you have any information on any meteors that night in my sky that night? Really curious. Thinking I am crazy and saw a UFO. It was at a stand still, did not move. Had a dusty-haze on it's edges. Miles and miles away in the sky. I saw something in the SSW sky on February 5th, 2009. Yellowish-orange and HUGE.
