    i remember back in the 7th grade the teacher read us a little article that was in the middle of the paper that morning saying that a large asteroid had come even closer than that to hitting the earth... granted it wasn't AS large but it would have been enough to mess some stuff up big time. another very close call happened a few years ago, similar details/story.

    basically i have the feeling this probably happen much more than the news/government cares to let us know about - probably for the better too.

    So is this the whole nibiru planet thing some people were freaking out over? I remember seeing a trajectory for
    something that was supposed to pass between earth and the moon around this time, and I remember some paranoid people were claiming it was a "self steering alien planet" ha. Weird stuff.

    There's another one coming, in other words, and we're almost overdue for it.
    Stuff like this makes me so paranoid parrot sometimes.

    It was only the size of a aircraft carrier, but if it hit in the ocean it would have made a tsunami 75' high. I guess because of it's high-speed.

    I would think if the gravity was strong enough to change the path of a astroid, think what it would do to the tides.

    the mass of the asteroid would be way too small to affect the tides
