Well Sept came and went. Without exception, every single prediction failed. Utterly. So, does this mean an entirely new set of dates to fear will be found every month between now and Dec 2012? If so..Someone wake me when the Earth is hours from obliteration. That is what it'll take before I buy into empty predictions and bogus dates again.
i think that we just need on doomsday/fear for your life thread, with a constant update of what to fear for each particular day on the calendar.

I thought this was already discussed. I distinctly remember going through every object presented in that video and finding that for the most part they are short period comets with an orbital period between 1 and 5 years. In other words there's a pretty good chance that they're going to be in the same general area at the same time.

The satellite was well "tracked" until its final orbit.
But what makes you think that plotting the orbit of an NEO bears any similarity to predicting the re-entry of a satellite?

There's no atmosphere in the realm of asteroids. No atmosphere to vary and affect their orbit in unpredictable ways.
LEO satellites on the other hand are within the reaches of Earth's atmosphere. An atmosphere that is affected in unpredictable ways by the Sun's activity.
