NEOs Asteroid Close Approaches February 2013

Three (now 9) known close-close approaches in February,  (See updates! ; more added!)
(2013 BS45) , (2013 BV15), and a very close call on 15FEB2013 of asteroid 2012 DA14.  Expect some increased meteor/fireball activity 3 days or so prior and after their passings.  Cameras, observers and reporters ready?  Thank you!  -LunarMeteorite*Hunter, Tokyo, JAPAN
