Let me add something I just found in IMO's (International Meteor  
Organization)Visual Handbook, Chapter 5.2 under Fireballs: " Then, there is a  seasonal 
variation: around the time of the vernal equinox, fireball rates are  about 3 
times the rates seen around the autumnal equinox in the northern  hemisphere. 
This ratio was derived by Halliday and Griffin  (1982) for  meteorite falls. It 
was proven by Rendtel and Knofel (1989) for visual and  photographic 
fireballs. "
