Yeah, I think this one is bit of a beat up. Things larger than that have passed within moon orbit in fairly recent times (just look up NEA's wherever your heart fancies).

If it was something as large as the Sears Tower, it wouldn't have too much mass compared to a larger asteroid, say around 1Km across. If it were that big, then I'd be running for the hills. It's most likely a ball of ice that will burn up/skip off the atmosphere.

Something as big as a skyscraper wouldn't have the gravity at all to generate any tsunamis (maybe if it hits water, but not passing us by).

The animation on that NASA site can't really tell us anything accurate. But if it did hit, and it wasn't just ice, it would probably cause some significant damage...

This "news" this article is about is coming from a conspiracy website.

The article is about NASA not updating info. I do not see that.

Whats the news?

I doubt there will be any mainstream coverage. Someone might mention it... after it happens.

Doesn't Revelations say that Wormwood, the comet of Armageddon, will approach from the South?

Nopers. Doesn't give the approach vector. (alawys wanted to be able to use those two words together in the same sentence! approach vector, approach vector, sounds all official and stuff)
Wormwood isn't a comet, anyway, at least, it doesn't sound like one to me after studying it for awhile.

First of all... great to see you Undo..... Ive been following your other thread from the back and have been trying to get through your OL books....... not sleepin much lol


Second of all... I.m new to all this and i though given the urgency in the origonal post/article this was worthy of posting here as a news item.
After all its the first Ive heard/read about it at all.

Please forgive my (not-so) youthful excitement.

thirdly to the rest. thanks for the support ( and the stars whatever they mean lol)

Well, there could still be some level of conspiracy to this topic... depending on how much of a threat this thing really is.

If the threat is high, and known to high-ranking officials in government and/or NASA, the conspiracy is in the fact that not many people know about this.

Or, if there is a threat, but the publicly disclosed data does not reflect the threat, we have yet another conspiracy.

And of course, if there is no threat, well then clearly there is no conspiracy.

So what we really need to do here is determine a threat level. Only then can we really cast allegations of conspiracy.

It certainly is interesting mungo, thanks for bringing it to our attention. Even if it isn't a threat, it's an interesting thing to watch-and-wait for

This thing might pass only 1,4 lunar distances from Earth. The gravity on Earth and the moon is strong enough to keep the moon in orbit around the Earth. What if this thing hit our moon? Or if it may cause some distrurbance to the moon somehow. We need our moon...

it's interesting, no doubt about it, but when the end of january comes nothing will happen at all. if it was even remotely serious it would have been on the news frequently.
