I wouldn't worry too much. I just checked the NEAT (Near Earth Asteroid Tracking) website and couldn't find any info on this object. I'm begining to wonder if we've been had.

Even if there is a 100ft space rock that close the odds of a hit are pretty big and even if it enters the atmosphere alot of it would burn up and what's left only has a 25% chance of hitting the ground.

That's a guaranteed hit if it hits atmosphere .... meteorites form up from pieces as small as the size of your fist.

Or do you have calculations to prove your assertion ? Serious question by the way.

That doesn't make it safe. The Tunguska bolide burned up completely before hitting the ground, yet it devastated a very wide area.

I recently read about an NEA due in Sept. 04, that will be a near miss as well.

I thought this one was possibly it, but it was only recently discovered, and the one I read about was practically a month ago..
