About a thousand people were injured, so I was say that they observed it striking the earth.

Last I heard it’s supposed to miss us, but it’s going to be a close call. I think they they said it will pass one-half the distance that’s between us and the moon, which in terms of asteroids is a close call. The scary thing about it is that they just found this sucker approaching a few days ago. It’s like these things just pop up out of the dark abyss of space.

I think in space it’s an asteroid. In the atmosphere it’s a meteor. On the ground it’s a meteorite.

But I think they had already left Davos.

They, Hollywood, are supposedly looking to do a remake of that movie! I read the book as a teenager! The story line is very plausable.........................

The asteroid will pass only 2,240 miles (3,600 kilometers) from Earth's surface on Friday (Jan. 27).............

I saw one in the Marines at Camp Lejeune one morning going to the rifle range just before sunrise.

It was a beautiful green streak then a huge flash of explosion, but no sound................

That first one I saw one just like it when I was a young Marine. Early one morning, just before good sunrise, bright green streak then a huge flash as it exploded, all without a sound................

“I’m rootin’ for the asteroid.”

At another site they called such a flying rock a “SMOD”.

“Sweet Meteor Of Death.”

Actually being inside our Satellite bubble is a concern. If it smacks one or two it could set off a chain reaction...

That was the premise of the movie "Gravity"

Not close enough IMO.

Unless it makes impact.
