Given the size, not even news worthy.
A bit close for comfort though. Now, if it were 30km, rather than 3m, we should be crapping ourselves.

I don't remember this kind of thing happening while President Bush was in office.
He protected us from asteroids.

If they’re wrong and it enters our atmosphere and breaks up, anyone for trap shooting? :)

In this case, an inch is as good as 25k miles.

How long until we have endless threads claiming it’s a Chinese missile?
Seriously, will this thing be visible and if so from what direction here in North America?

Would have been nice if the article had pointed out what part of the sky this asteroid would pass thru tonight.

If gravity were a fact like these so-called scientists claim, it would pull the thing down to Earth, wouldn’t it?! But when it becomes convenient, gravity is suddenly forgotten!

It is nearly 10 feet (3 meters wide), so small it would simply break apart if it encountered Earth's atmosphere. How many this size will hit the atmosphere tonight and become "falling stars" (meteors)?

Almost a catastrophism ping. I am sure the Earth is still spinning or hydroplaning on it's axis after hitting it's brakes to avoid that one.

How does ‘gas’ in a vaccuum condense down to form the solid rocks we call asteroids. It has always puzzled me. Surely they must be chips off a bigger block? If yes, what knocked the chips off that big block?

Wonder what the powers that be will tell us six hours before something is going to hit and do real damage?
