Well, if ET's ARE monitoring us, I'm sure they'd be aware of all the hype of December 21st, 2012 and who knows...maybe they'd decide that's as good a day than any to officially say "We are here!"
Unfortunately I don't think they want us to know they're here. Prime directive BS.

I thought if it was split into smaller pieces then they stood more chance of breaking up in our atmosphere

Say it was massive and big enough to cause massive damage, could they fire off multiple nukes and have a chance of hitting it to break it up ?
well, breaking it up would only make it worse.... imagine all those little pieces falling all around the globe...
