Thanks BenLurkin.

...appears to have originated from the Apollo family of asteroids, which are "well-known near-Earth asteroids that cross the orbit of Earth," ...Around 5,200 Apollo asteroids are currently known, the largest being 1866 Sisyphus -- a 10 kilometer-wide monster that was discovered in 1972.

I didn’t do it!

Something about that bright flash proves otherwise. If you don't believe me just ask the man that lives his life under whater? Thanks for the ping , and that one ping only... '-)

I’m sure George Noory can explain.

Noory asks the stupidest questions of his guests. He’s got a great gig, but I’m convinced he is something of an air head.
