Russians shot down a UFO

[rayven]

It is scary how relatively small an asteroid/meteorite would have to be to totally wipe us out

Its scary how far we are lied to to stop us freaking out over such matters...

Mate, stop drinking the bong water

Mate, stop drinking the bong water

best protein shake before a right arm workout there is

 

[Prestigerrycomo]

I'll take your word for it hehe

It is weird the trail of smoke dovetailing.

 

[IAMJUNGLEMUFFIN]

I see no dovetail.......

I see no dovetail.......

Those crafty Russians!

It is weird the trail of smoke dovetailing.

They were probably in their death throes after first crossing the continental USA and having all those patriots and doomsday preppers taking pot shots at them with their assault rifles.

A few lucky ones obviously found their mark

North Korea's newest wmd; meteorites.

Gotta love those heat seekers from the dark side of the moon, we definitely need an education..

I suspect what you are referring to is the effects of the meteorite breaking up into smaller pieces and exploding. The trajectory of the different pieces is obviously different after they have broken off.

Care elaborate?

This doesn't include all the Jupiter trojans http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jupiter_Trojan or comets which can come from anywhere at any time.

The dinosaurs didn't die from a nasty coincidence. Impacts happen because a solar system is just a huge stack of rocks interacting with each other.

Nobody can possibly predict every little perturbation of gravity which would lead to an object changing course directly towards the Earth. Asteroids/comets can do gravity slingshots around planets just like space probes do to change course and speed it's just much more random.

The atmosphere isn't thick enough to stop big asteroids, they just slice through it like a hot knife through butter and impact the surface at multiple km/s flinging dirt into the upper atmosphere where it doesn't come back down for a very long time. This blocks out the sun, that's why cold blooded things die.

Nothing to see here

Not to mention we can't track an object traveling toward us from the direction of the sun.

Hearing word that this may be a false flag meteor shower .................

 

[Papa Juggs]

I want to see Apophis claimed as a 2nd moon. That way it doesn't come back to haunt us

Just gotta stick a big enough rocket on it to capture it into orbit.
