At 8 miles per second I'm going with "Zoom by" - outside of our atmosphere (44,000+ miles) there would be no smoke or sound.

I'll try to remember to say hello on 7/25 ...

Hope their calculations are correct! ;-)

The asteroid was small in astronomical terms just a 150 feet (45.7 m) across. Traveling at around 8 miles per second (12.8 kps) the force of the asteroid impact on the ground was tremendous... Meteor Crater is 3900 feet (1200m) across...formed in an explosion estimated to be equal to 10 million tons of TNT. Meteor Crater Arizona Author: James Tobin
