It will be another 200 years before the huge asteroid 1998 QE2 will be as close to Earth as it will be this Friday, May 31.
The U.S. space agency, NASA, says the 2.7 kilometer-wide asteroid poses no threat because, even at its closest, it will be 5.8 million kilometers from Earth. That’s about 15 times the distance between the Earth and the moon.

Paul Chodas of NASA’s Near-Earth Object Program Office at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California says the asteroid was discovered 15 years ago.
“It’s one of the initial successes of our efforts to find the big asteroids that could hit the Earth and cause global catastrophe, so it’s certainly one to keep an eye on, and we know it’s passing at a comfortable distance,” he said.
Chodas adds that asteroid 1998 QE2 is not named for anything on this planet.

Ok, this is bull shyt, I just looked this morning, 5-31-2013 for said asteroid, it is already moving away from us, so not only is this story not accurate, but very misleading, this rock was closer yesterday, and today it is 5.33 million kilometers away……not exactly a flyby.
Tomorrow morning it will be over 6 mil/Kim …..
Have to love the scare tactics…..will they ever end, or is the doom and gloom the way of life in today’s world?
Frankly I’m getting tired of all the fear ploys going on.
DON’T SING IT…..BRING IT!!
Oh yea….Earthlings…..ha ha ha ha ha….wtf is that!?!?
If an alien wants to talk to you, it will….we really don’t need people pretending to be extra terrestrial to pass some danger message.
Lets be real here, this isn’t a movie or sitcom, the aliens will only speak to us on approval from the government, think about it…..if you were to visit a new world, who would be the second or third being you would encounter?
Military or government, all the movies have instilled fear of anal probing or dissection or ingestion….that was for a reason…..if a being wanted to tell the world….would they do it with one or two insignificant persons?
No, they are aliens….they could utilize many other techy ways to expose themselves, but they don’t have governmental approval.
It’s about a mile wide and it will get no closer than 3.6 million miles away. It’s like a bullet a quarter inch wide getting no closer to your head than 14.2 miles away.
Earthlings? You must believe in extraterrestrials. What a joke.
That is not a video of QE2 asteroid. I just looked at some live footage and it’s a white dot far away from us.
