Huge Fireball Burns over the London Sky, Creates Shock Wave
(Excerpt) Read more at youtube.com ...
Ordinarily I don't use this source, because the narrator is such a load, but this coverage has just the right amount of non-narrated vid "footage" with some explanation and sidebars.
Does the video explain the cause of the fireball? Fireballs aren’t a natural occurrence except perhaps in swamps.;-)
Paging Professor Quatermass. England needs you.
It’s not about how close it gets, it’s about how serious it would be if it hit, a real crisis — seems like a perfectly good reason to continue to suspend our liberties. /rimshot
Asteroid the size of the Golden Gate Bridge will whiz past Earth in March

Don’t panic; it won’t get that close.
An asteroid as wide as the Golden Gate Bridge is long will hurtle past Earth next month. But although it will be the biggest and speediest asteroid to fly by our planet this year, there’s no reason to panic.
The space rock, officially called 231937 (2001 FO32), is about 0.5 to 1 mile (0.8 to 1.7 kilometers) in diameter and will come within 1.25 million miles (2 million kilometers) of Earth at 11:03 a.m. EST (1603 GMT) on March 21 — close enough and large enough to be classified as “potentially hazardous,” according to a database published by NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
An asteroid is designated as “potentially hazardous” when its orbit intersects with Earth’s at a distance of no more than about 4.65 million miles (7.5 million km) and it is bigger than about 500 feet (140 meters) in diameter, according to NASA’s Center for Near-Earth Object Studies (CNEOS).
Just missed this? We were all killed, that’s why it doesn’t sound familiar. It’s like that scene with the football team in the movie “Beetlejuice”.
Asteroid Apophis flies by this week. You can watch online
Posted by Eddie Irizarry and Deborah Byrd in SPACE | March 4, 2021
You can watch online as the notorious near-Earth asteroid Apophis brushes past Earth on March 5-6, 2021. This flyby is a precursor to the tantalizingly close sweep Apophis will make in 2029.

My guess is space junk...
Harry and Meghan flaming out in spectacular fashion, just a bit earlier than expected.
I saw a fireball like that about 20 years ago on the Calif/Nev border. Lit up my entire yard several times brighter than a full Moon. Also had a roaring sound to it. Later learned that it fell into the Pacific Ocean thousands of miles away.

Frankie MacDonald did a video on the asteroid 2001FO32 predicted to miss the earth on March 21st.

You can see stuff like this just about everyday somewhere on earth.
Remember there’s less than a 3% chance of fragments hitting land.
As far as this 2029 crap, don’t give it a moments notice.
No one can see an object that small with the largest telescope.
In fact we can barely see stars.
All we ever see is a dot.
The Bigger the telescope the bigger the dot.....
