Interestingly though , that one is due to hit Mars 30 Jan, whereby this one will hit 28 Jan.

Mars has 75 to 1.... we have 50/50 chance if ya believe the bookies.


all in all a great weekend for the punters

I don't buy the 50/50 chance. If it were that close there would be more signs.

Look at it this way the Comet Holmes event along with this event is an educational warning to be prepared.

Now we've learned a few new things - a plasma discharge can screw us even if we won't be hit, with all we know a NEO can still sneak up on us in 3 months or 3 days without our being aware of it & making a media event out of something that might not happen could possibly be worse, so it's better to not let the sheeple know as even if they did there's nothing we can do for everyone anyway and if nothing much happened nobody wants to take the blame for the damage for nothing.

Now, I'm going to check my escape pack to make sure my supplies are up to date - just in case.

Hope this has no connection to the latest ufo reports. That would be pretty messed up if they were hanging out to observe the event - then again maybe they'll push it out of the way with their electro magnetic pulsed tractor beam.

Just wondering does anyone know how best to prepare or avoid plasma discharge damage - just in case?

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.

umm and what would they say ? " hey there will be a asteroid impact that might cause world wide catastrophies(SP?) , we cant do anything about so just letting all of you know"

Imagine the panic and the riots as people prepare for the end of the world (even if the asteroid only hits with minimal damage to climate/earth) and try to maintain peace and a stable goverment after that

So no , I dont belive that even if there would be a 100% chance of an impact that we would get any news on this ..

At least thats what I would do if I were a smart politician that wanted to keep his job after that

Edit: No saying that there is a conspiracy and that this thing will hit earth , just trying to show the wrong type of thinking about this

Well I am not ready for this if it happens. But it may explain those new air raid sirens they have started putting up all over the place. We have now counted over 17 of them in a 40 mile area. So something is up. And I know it doesnt have to do with the Nuclear plant they only go out 10 miles and do them, and these are much further then 10 miles from there.

But as for me being stock piled for goods I am not at this time. But I still have some time to get some things together. Just in case. But either way I will make sure I have an emergency kit handy for that date. One never knows. I will keep my eye on the skies for awhile but I wont be out there when its 20 degrees looking up.

Right now it's at .0503. What's the scoop with that? Why is that figure fluctuating up and down? Is it that this thing is too small to get an accurate reading or something?

It's a pitty I'm Agnostic.

Hell I could go for a bit of prairing right now...lol

This is prolly the first thing in many, many Doomsday events that actually has me very worried.

If it hits the ocean, expect a tidlewave about 800ft tall to crash ashore on every major Southern costline.

If it hits land, it's not exactly a planet killer, but just the same, expect a mushroom cloud as large as the state of Queensland

Well, I'll just say my goodbyes now...

Hope a few 1,000,000 square meters of solid rock over my head can afford some protection, cause I'm headding down one of the newest, most stable mine shafts in my area on the day.
