Mystery object on course to whiz past Earth
9 replies
NJFINSFAN1luxury_boxOPA near-Earth object that could be human-made has just been discovered hurtling toward us. On Wednesday, the object called 2010 AL30 will fly by Earth at a distance of just 80,000 miles (130,000 kilometers). That's only one-third of the way from here to the moon — that is, very close.
It will miss us, and if it did hit us, it wouldn't do any damage anyway, but I managed to pick up on some chatter between planetary scientists and found out that the "asteroid," or whatever it is, gives us a new standard: A 10-meter-wide (33-foot-wide) asteroid can be detected two days before it potentially hits Earth. A pretty useful warning, if you ask me.

Alex44New MemberSo they don't know what it actually is? To me it seems pretty important to find out. Something that appears to be "man made" whizzing through space, doesnt have to be made by OUR men.
More than likely, it was and is, but to me it seems like it would be important to find out exactly what said object is, its origin, and why its flying through space.
On the draft Quentin Rollins bandwagon.

i would assume they would find out when it gets close enough..........

Thats what I'm hoping, but from the blurb it just makes it seem like they dont care.

charlestonphanNew Memberi never heard anything more about this, or what they think it was now... i am guessing they said it was not something that would cause damage because it would burn up entering our atmosphere, maybe???
