Interresting that it would happen so close in time to the first anniversary of the Chelyabinsk meteor event. Not a doozie yet but quite likely a reminder.

That was the first thing that came to my mind too! Not as powerful as the Russian one but similar..

And in the Southern Hemisphere, too. And after the clocking of a close pass on Monday, and a meteorite going through somebody's roof in the North... following all the weather madness. Just getting wild out there!

Year Zero, I guess. Can't imagine what Year One might be like.

Indeed! And trust me with all these news of the weather and fireballs plus the situation going on right now in my country, gee!! even two blocks from my house I hear protest and confrontations.. I mean.. Do I need more proves to see that so far this year has been nuts!?

Meanwhile Asteroid 2000 EM26 can't be found by astronomers!

‘Moby Dick’ Asteroid 2000 EM26 is Missing – Help Astronomers Find It

Yesterday evening you may have dropped by to watch Slooh’s live coverage of asteroid 2000 EM26 as it passed just 8.8 lunar distances of Earth. Surprise – the space rock never showed up! Slooh’s robotic telescope attempted to recover the asteroid and share its speedy travels with the world but failed to capture an image at the predicted position.

Now, that's a REAL missing WMD! George Bush would be thrilled! "Darn, just had it! It must be under the bed with Osama!"
