Asteroid? Not a meteorite? Are they just trying the sound dramatic?

That's the tiniest asteroid I've ever heard of. It's the size of a meteorite.

It was a spaceship disguised as an Asteroid.

The space rock was relatively small, however, and would not have posed any danger had it plunged into the atmosphere

16 feet wide.

About like a VW Bug hitting ya in the head.......maybe it wouldn't pose any danger, but it sure could leave a dent in the cranium.

>Astronomers spotted an asteroid this week after it had flown past Earth

Do not worry. If
it had gotten really close,
I'd have worked faster

on my Kill-O-Zap
anti-asteroid missle.
Next time, I'll be set . . .

I had asteroids once, but the doctor gave me something to clear it up... oh never mind.
