The Sky Is Falling

It's only 800 feet across. No big deal I guess, but it's passing really close. They don't say it, but in the past, asteroids and comets get caught in the gravitational field when they pass by a planet. Like Hale Bopp did, but that was Jupiter, a much larger planet.

I think a rock the size of a football stadium could do some serious damage if it held together on the way in. Forget global warming, the sky is falling! Panic about this!

Yep, even our own spy satellites are trying to kill us. This one is a secret though, so hush you...
