Were these companions of the asteroid that was supposed to miss us by about 20K miles sometime Friday?
At least one Russian scientist thinks it could have been.

No. They were on totally different trajectories. If they were on the same trajectory...roughly...they MIGHT be...but you have to understand that even on the same trajectory they would have been separated by about 500K miles. Which would tend to indicate they were not related.
But...the trajectory is really key. That makes them absolutely unrelated and coincidental (unless God is trying to say something...which I do NOT discount).
