Now this is some downright SCARY stuff. A rogue meteor sneaks up on us, hiding itself with its back to the sun, and going straight for the prize.
Ok, so the folks in Chelyabinsk got a dusting up, and they seem to have survived it quite well, but had that dude did a fly by and clobbered some place really crowed, there would have been body parts flying in every direction!
Just imagine if that dude hit Tokyo, Beijing, Delhi or Rio!
Or any city in the US or Canada.
Who knows when and where the next one will hit? God and God alone. And I think God may be a little PeeOhdd at the condition of the human race right about now.
Time to reconsider how we do things. Just my opinion.
I can imagine it hitting Washington DC.
You can see me smiling all the way from there can't you?

Scary indeed! I figure that meteor followed the track that an incoming ICBM fired from North America would have taken. Fortunately the Russians did not immediately conclude it was a dud ICBM and fire everything they had at the USA. If this had happened in February 1963, four months after the Cuban Missile Crisis, we would not be here!
The earth is a pretty small target, relevantly, and this was just a glancing blow with no impact.
If the trajectory puppy was coming straight down and impacted prior to burning up in downtown where-ever...........
