NASA on Alert: Asteroid Heads for Closest-Ever Predicted Approach to Earth (Video)

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.



 

The flyby of asteroid 2013 TX68 is the closest ever predicted Earth approach for an object this large. The 150 feet (45 meters) rock could pass 11,000 miles (17,000km) from Earth on March 5th which is 21 times closer to our planet than the moon, although NASA admits it might also pass nine million miles away as the asteroid’s orbit is highly uncertain (condition code 7) and the distance of its pass is not precisely known at this time experts say.
 

However, if the asteroid passes at its closest possible distance of just 11,000 miles (17,000 km), the flyby will be an exceedingly close one and If that were the case, the asteroid would come even closer than orbiting communications satellites.

Asteroid 2013 TX68 has an estimated mass of about 130,000 metric tons. The space rock is traveling at about 32,211 miles per hour (51,839 kilometers per hour), relative to Earth.

According to NASA, if an asteroid of a size similar to that of 2013 TX68 were to impact Earth, it would release approximately 2.5 megatons of energy in the atmosphere and would be expected to cause regional devastation.

A comparison to the impact potential of an asteroid the size of 2013 TX68 could be made to the impact of a near-Earth object that occurred in 1908 in Tuguska, Siberia.

Known in the asteroid community as the “Tunguska Event,” this impact of an asteroid just slightly smaller than 2013 TX68 (approximately 100 – 130 feet/30-40 meters across) is believed to have flattened about 825 square miles (2200 square kilometers) of forest in and around the Podkamennaya Tunguska River in what is now Krasnoyarsk Krai, Russia.

The asteroid was discovered by the NASA-funded Catalina Sky Survey on Oct. 6, 2013, as it approached Earth on the nighttime side. After three days of tracking, the asteroid passed into the daytime sky and could no longer be observed. Because it was not tracked for very long,

Although scientists cannot predict its precise orbit around the sun, they say that it cannot impact Earth during its flyby next month.
 

Furthermore, it seems cosmic rays are rising rapidly and the Earth is tilting North, which is a physical Pole Shift combined with a magnetic polar shift. In the second video BPEarthWatch explains these developments as well as an analysis of Asteroid 2013 TX68 based on the information given by ESA instead of NASA.

      Yes definitely incoming objects.
      Also the Government recently released a huge cache of info in regards to Objects/Ufo’s, etc.
      During the interview one official stated the truth is “Out There” an all one has to do is follow the links to this Information Dump.
      I am really surprised there are no articles on this. This dump was due to a FOIA law suit that had been going on for a long time.

    • sitrep

      Here is an article on the info dump

        Thank you Sitrep, More Power, to YOU

      NASA LIES! Can you tell me then why they only looked at this object for 3 days back in 2013, and they haven’t looked at it again? Come on! If anyone believes their lies, they don’t know how to read. :wink:

      • NCAALives

        Lie Two – NASA has camera’s covering 3 different angles of the sun, so they get a full view, so this is clearly a straight out lie by your gov. How else do they get a full sun scan of the activity of the sun (front and back)? So they want you to believe that all satillites each lost this in the sun so they don’t know where it is. Remember, don’t use your common sense because they NWO brain washed you to not use it anymore…

        • Chew

          NCAALives’ example of jawdropping stupidity #2: If you think the STEREO and SDO spacecraft can detect a 46 meter diameter asteroid at the distance of the Earth then you are far, far dumber than I originally thought.

      • Chew

        “They” could only look at it for 3 days because it is very small. There is a limit to what our telescopes can see and an object’s size determines it brightness. It took a very close pass for our survey systems to detect it. It was in that narrow detection window for only 3 days.

      An asteroid bigger in 30~50 times than asteroid 2013 TX68 may collide to the North of US
      Feb. 6, 2016
      The general cleaning of the Earth is imminent.
      The Creators of the Space blocks control world gave all things gratuitoucely. But Earthians turned the Earth to the planet of evil and corrupt plutocratical slave domination civilization.
      Now in the USA the new 2nd civil war and the New American People’s Revolution are imminent.
      American peoples must realize the new society of everything gratuitouce services in all areas of their social life, following the Destiny of the Creators and the development law of planets.
      But, the dictator of the US, Rockefellers’ clique is trying to distort the new American Revolution for holding the plutocratical slave domination system to the ex Soviet Union type which was the national capitalist system.
      If Americans don’t follow the above mentioned Destiny of the Creators, the general cleaning of the Earth will be staged. Thus, according to a notice from the Creators, an asteroid bigger in 30~50 times than asteroid 2013 TX68 will collide to the North of US. This will become the new catastrophe of the Earth. The US and Canada will be annihilated. 3 billions people will die. But survived 4 billions people of Eathians will construct the new Earth society that has been liberated from the evil and corrupt social system with aids of the Galaxy Federation of advanced civilization planets, following the Destiny of the Creators.

      It is February 6th Butt head
      Earth Is still here In the uk!

      NANU NANU!! :cool:

      • LifeIs

        The February 6 thing is a different article. And, if you had read it, you’d have seen it isn’t a prediction. Just an annoying way to grab attention.

    • Pix

      Many such small asteroids pass close to Earth, it’s only 30 meters across, ffs. Might destroy a building with a direct hit, but it can’t cause an extinction level event.

      Talk about fear porn merchant.

      :lol:

    • C.C. Forche

      Stop!!! Time is short. None of this is true according to NASA’s own data. So why are they pouring out disinformation? Who are we up against? NASA? The other entities of Gov? There is something big, but what?
      go to chistiantheoriesandconcepts.com/what-is-happening-think/ this for update of NASA info just last couple of weeks! After I shot this out earlier today..member of UN requested follow on twitter…it is hot. After you see list of events since Dec 2015 (and its crazy) maybe check out neo.jpl.nasa.gov and click on “close approaches” for yourself.
      I am also the author of the Christian book of arguments w/ 666 decoded in 9 languages and 5 alphabets. It is heavily supported by Scripture. See in the crescendo”CHAOS A WORLD REPORT” READY? asteroid vb72 was renamed “Wormwood” on Oct 11th 2008 and UN established PDA PLanetary Defense Agency in July 2010. Scientists discovered (or announced for real) Planet X in 1983 and named itJupiter next to the sun in daytime with the naked eye? THINK You will find all of this on christiantheoriesandconcepts.com Take care. God Bless
