I was thinking the exact same about this in the news...im in the uk...(somewhere lol) and its been extremely foggy for two days now.
not on the same scale as what your saying...unless haarp is being used to block it from a large portions of the world just like dis info will!

firstly i live in Australia and i could not see Elenin when they said it would be noticeable because it was too cloudy to view it,
YU55 is meant to be noticeable on the 9th of November if your in Australia but the weather predictions Melbourne is meant to be cloudy with showers,
I'd class its passing as a huge event....but we hear nothing about it, even tho it probably only happens once every 20 thousand years or something?
that is strange, and its tomorrow... xmas is a whole month and a bit away and thats all over the tv

What I'd like to see more of is computer simulations to aid in visualization.
With the way the guys were talking on the Reuters report I kind of expect this topic will really pick up here at ATS in the next 48hours.
Everything Ive seen reported in the media is represented by someone from NASA, according to the Sunday night show their was an asteroid in 2006 which was the size of a car which was only discovered the day before it impacted earth in the Sudan desert,
On October 6, 2008, the Catalina Sky Survey telescope in Arizona first spotted the asteroid, known as 2008 TC3. Astronomers around the world followed the Earth-bound asteroid, urgently plotting its trajectory to try to predict where it would crash down to Earth.
[edit for brevity-- DJW001]
Robert McNaught, an astronomer with the Australian National University in Canberra, said the events of 2008 TC3 show that astronomers can predict the precise impact point of asteroids with only a day's warning. This accuracy, he said, has "significant consequences for emergency management."

At first glance, these may not seem to be profound statements. After all, you might discover a nova, supernova, or a comet too; amateurs have proven they can do these things. But in the case of asteroids there's a major difference. If you decide to search for them on any clear, dark night, you can be virtually guaranteed of success in your quest, whereas with the other three the chance is rather slim.
It is impossible to keep things in space a secret.
That's a bold statement. Hope you don't mind if I add this statement to my archives, giving due credit of course.

Ive been thinking alot about the 2005 YU55 asteroid and other weird coincidences happening this week, Its strange that FEMA are shutting down the airwaves for up to 3 and a half minutes at roughly the same time the asteroid is in our view
