The series of space rock flybys begins at 10:29 UTC Sunday as asteroid 2013 US3, travelling at a respectable 7.69 km/s (27,646 kph) with a diameter of between 160-360 meters whizzes past us. For comparison, the Eiffel Tower measures 324 meters from ground to tip.
Next up are asteroids 2018 GO4 and 2018 GY1, which are expected to scream past us at 12:34 and 18:20 UTC respectively.
Asteroid 2018 GO4 measures approximately 30-68 meters (between three and six school buses in diameter) and has a brisk pace of 8.57 km/s. Meanwhile, 2018 GY1, on the other hand, won’t be hanging around our neck of the galactic woods for long given that it travels at a whopping 16.69 km/s, despite measuring 100 and 230 meters in diameter.
Closing the day’s near orbit rock show will be asteroid 2028 FV4 at 19:13 UTC (at 6.52 km/s) followed two hours later by 2002 JR100 at 21:15 UTC (7.68 km/s), both with a diameter of roughly a Boeing 747 (between 60 and 71 meters). Thankfully, the rocks are projected to hurtle past us at the relatively safe distance of 3,870,720 km (roughly 10 times further away than the moon is from Earth), so we needn't worry too much.

WTF ? Today is the most peaceful our Near Earth Fly-Bys have been in years !

Sensationalist garbage.
3,870,720 km = 2,405,154 miles (~2-1/2 million miles)

“Talk about something else that’s falling from the sky
and that is an asteroid. What’s coming our way? Is this
an effect of, perhaps, of global warming, or is this just
some meteoric occasion?” - CNN’s Deborah Feyerick
Some suggested targets for these asteroids if they are listening: Nancy Pelosi’s house, Chuck Schumer’s house, etc.
These are asteroids. Let them do some useful work.
We’ve been seeing more and more of these ‘near flyby’ asteroids lately.
I wonder if it is the vanguard of a cluster of asteroids that come around about once ever 14,000 years or so and are the cause of our periodic ice ages.
If so, then the global warming problem is solved...
