Absinth???

Youtube user planetkrejci, who has investigated other anomalies on NASA pictures, claims the object -- found using the Google website which transports the heavens to desktop computers and smartphones -- is an asteroid which is heading towards Earth.
He says the asteroid -- which, if real, has not been spotted by other scientists or astronomers -- has only appeared recently on Google Sky, which receives updated images every few months.
Announcing his find on YouTube, he says the black object, mottled with green spots, is so clear that it must be within the solar system.
The user had been exploring the region a few months earlier, and had 'bookmarked' a spot just to the left of the asteroid -- so he is certain the object was not there previously.
There are other explanations -- this could be a simple technical glitch, either on Google Sky's end or within the original photograph.
The earthbound Google Maps regularly has glitches where pictures have been incorrectly sewn together.
One thing that planekrejci does not substantiate is his claim that the object is moving towards the Earth, as it is not apparent how this calculation could be obtained without more information than the image provides.
However, if planetkrejci has found a new object, it will be quite an achievement for an earth-bound Internet user to discover a new object in our solar system before NASA or other observatories.
The object is easy to find on Google Sky, by typing in the co-ordinates 5h 11m 33.74s -12 50' 30.09" -- although conspiracy theorists might read something into the fact that the search function on Google Sky is currently down...

Absinth???
bttt
One of two things. An intergalactic dust bunny or Klingon scat.
At the rate it’s going it’s due to hit Earth December 23, 2012!!!
It looks just like the space rock from the Andromeda Strain. Green spots and all.
One thing came to mind after seeing this object.

I posted this RIGHT before you did. I’m half way through watching the movie now after seeing that object. Crichton was a freaking genius.
More like a gallstone with illuminated waste matter on it. I saw the same color in my colonoscopy procedure.
Actually, I was almost 4 minutes before you, but you’re right about Crichton. That movie was more frightening than Alien to me.
Green Slime!
Open the door you’ll find the secret
To find the answer is to keep it
You’ll believe it when you find
Something screaming ‘cross your mind
Green slime
What can it be, what is the reason
Is this the end of all that breathes, and
Is it something in your head?
Will you believe it when you’re dead?
Green slime, green slime, green slime
What can it be, what is the reason
Is this the end to all that we’ve done?
Is it something in your head?
Will you believe it when you’re dead?
Green slime, green slime, green slime
That’s a scary looking rock.
What a great Movie. So cheesy but I loved it as a kid. And to this day when it is on, I have to watch it.” FLASH AAAAAAAAH he’ll save every one of us”!

Damn Hiccup!
Maybe it’s the birth certificate?
Don't mean to creep anybody out, but I thought of this passage when I saw the Google Sky screen capture and checked the coordinates myself. Whatever that glob is it does not look like your typical Google glitch.
