Fact is at virtually anytime we could get impacted by a “Near Earth Object’’(NEO). There’s loads of stuff, big, medium , and large sized objects floating all around us. Stuff hit’s the Earth atmosphere all the time. Not much we can do about really. It’s a cosmic crapshoot.
“Not much we can do about really.”
I remember some large object that was very close to Earth - I’m thinking it came closer than the moon. NASA saw it too - as it was going away from us!
