"There is theoretically a collision possible between asteroids and planet Earth,"

"theoretically" ? ? ?

I guess he doesn't realize how stupid that sounds.

And the NSA has identified 16 separate phone calls made from the Atlanta area to this trick-sized asteroid...

"There is theoretically a collision possible between asteroids and planet Earth," astronomer Gianluca Masi

One of three scenarios here folks....

1. This is not a real astronomer.

2. This is an astronomer, and he needs to turn in his union card ASAP.

3. (and most likely) He got misquoted, and is cringing and embarrassed on an epic scale.

———four times closer than the moon-——

I think that clumsy style book induced calculation means the path was 1/4 of the distance to the moon

Brevard County, Florida ping. Pinged because the dateline was from the Cape. Seemed rather unusual for a story like this one.

Let me know if you want on or off this ping list.

The Russian incident this year was a meteor not an asteroid.

The 30-foot-wide asteroid posed no threat.

Passed us by a whisker and "posed no threat"? What exactly would constitute a "threat" from an asteroid? A warning message transmitted from the asteroid: "Bend over, suckers!"?

That must have been all that buzzing and circling that rattled the windows for about 15 minutes the other night. A couple hours later there was a huge spotlight that lit up everything like daylight for a flash here and a flash there every couple minutes. Weird goings on especially since there are not police choppers anywhere around here. Yep, uh huh, asteroid is better than the alternative.

An asteroid the size of a small truck zoomed past Earth four times closer than the moon on Saturday...

Am I the only person who dislikes referencing the differences in distance in this manner?

Passing by inside the distance of the Moon to the Earth, it came within roughly one quarter of that distance.

Is God lining up Obama in his scope?
