An Air Force installation in Colorado Springs and one near Denver are operating with heightened security.
The Cheyenne Mountain Air Station, which houses NORAD, is now at "Bravo-Plus".
There are five levels of alert: normal, Alpha (low), Bravo (medium), Charlie (high) and Delta (critical). Bravo-Plus is slightly higher than a medium threat level.
Space Command would not comment on the reason for the security increase.
The order also affects Vandenberg Air Force Base in California and Patrick air force base in Florida.

"Although initially there were concerns that this asteroid might possibly impact Earth later this century and thus merit special monitoring, further analysis of its orbit has since ruled out any such collision, at least in the survivable future. "

Re #15
I heard nothing unusual at the moment.

4th of July. All bases go on heightened alert on those days the enemy is most likely to want to strike. I know this one for fact. I don't know specifically about the Colorado Springs Bravo-Plus Alert.

I know bases here are very tight. No entering the bases unless your name is on the list. It has to do with the 4th, and some VERY IMPORTANT people coming here.

Bingo. This is also what I have heard. I don't think many in those "lines of work" are getting the 3rd and 4th off from work.

Don't you know that washing a truck ATTRACTS meteors?
I've been not washing my van for three months until the meteor passes, and you go and waste all that effort.
Not to mention 6,000 years of human progress and 6 billion people, but, hey, this is no time to be picky.
Happy 4th to you.
