This asteroid came considerably closer!

When I first saw that it was going to be that close, I thought someone forgot at least one zero! Just to make me feel even more unsafe about the sky falling, I cant wait to see how close the estimates of a 15* deflection come. And which way did 'we' fling that thing? ;-)

It seem when the asteriod pass earth it effected our planet ?
Check out the World-Wide Seismograms readings, and it's around the same time period of Asteriod 2004 HF close-flyby, and it seem that Cook Island in the Pacific near New Zealand was effected the most. These are UTC times ?

Here's a video of Asteriod 2004 HF as it came by earth, using the 14-inch SoTie telescope in Las Campanes, Chile.
Gienluca Masi & Franco mallia captured this video of the asteriod.

always larger swarms, shorter warning times and closer approaches
