In the aftermath of earth’s close call today, NASA officially came forward to say that the meteorite that exploded in and hit the Ural Mountains of Russia yesterday, the two bolides that exploded over Cuba and were seen in Puerto Rico and the fireball seen over Japan were not connected to Asteroid 2012 DA-14.
Standing firmly on American soil from a centrally heated office far away from any of the events, once again NASA has become the authority of all things apocalyptic and challenges those who question and marginalizes them, because of their fears of a possible near earth collision with celestial bodies that once again creep in unnoticed.
The truth about near earth objects has always been that while NASA has cataloged most of the potential threats to the planet, they are in no capacity to catalog potentially hazardous asteroids that are smaller than the one that passed over the earth today.
As we have realized by what happened with the Russian incident there are as of yet space rocks that go unchecked that could do significant damage if they impact or explode above the Earth’s surface near populated areas.
It is a fact that over 300 objects intersect Earth’s orbital trajectory each year. They range in size from a soccer ball to the size of Manhattan. It is only a matter of time before we arrive at the wrong place at the wrong time.
In 2005, Ground Zero reported that Congress ordered NASA to “Plan and Implement” a Near Earth Object survey program that would attempt to track and catalog potentially hazardous objects that are under 450 feet in diameter.
NASA’s response has simply been keeping their fingers crossed, hoping that nothing gets through. It seems that the mathletes that run NASA can show us that they can use high math to ensure the public that by their calculations that asteroids like DA-14 can pass us within a cosmic shave without any incident.
Now keep in mind that astronomers consider 2.4 million miles to be a “near-miss” for any near earth object. We just had an Asteroid pass us within 17,000 miles.
We had commented on the Ground Zero show that something that close had to have straglers following it or other rocks being moved out of the way to allow it to pass, and many of those rocks head toward earth.
