“Tonight from the UK (Sep 6/7) this object will be 17th magnitude but by tomorrow (Sep 7/8) it will be brightening rapidly from 16th to 15th magnitude and be accelerating from an apparent speed of about 30 “/min to 50 “/min. “

You might have an easier time seeing Pluto with a 3-inch refractor in Times Square!

unless I missed it they left out a very key piece of information - how large are these and what would have happened if they had made a direct hit on Earth?>

This was made public information ONLY after it was confirmed the asteroids would not impact the earth.

We will be lied to till the very end.

I think I read somewhere that there is an asteroid that will have a close pass to Earth sometime this decade, and if it passes through a well defined 600 mile-or-so area (threading the needle), it will definitely strike Earth (the Pacific) sometime in the 2030s on a later pass.
