If whatever it is, is real and is coming towards earth it seems like it would perhaps be hitting or going by within the next few days.

If it's there... somebody ought to be able to go out and find it in the sky perhaps?

Surely someone with a telescope has seen that video. Why debate when there's other potential avenues to the truth of the matter? How hard is it to really see what's in the sky?

Maybe it's really kind of difficult.

Can we really see as much out there as we think we can? If we have no idea what this is and it's that close... there's really no telling what is out there.

That is a very cool video. Although it looks like its in our direct line of sight, it could be millions of miles to the left or right. There is no way of telling. Still awesome shot.

From where do you get your erroneous information? I have been the Intergalactic Earl for ~1000 eons, and I have never once answered to Justin Bieber.

let's all be honest here..

the simplest, and probably even the deepest reason on why so many people seemingly WANT to believe that these kind of things will happen,
is because most people are more inclined/willing to believe, and have ALREADY believed in all those "fantasy, magical, & out-of-the-real-world" things about the whole "2012" things and especially that 21 December 2012 date!
that the human's Imagination is always far 100x much more interesting & vivid/lively and full of variety (not to mention much more mysterious, and fascinating!),
rather than this seemingly mundane, "dry", boring everyday's reality or "real-world / real-life" .

Most of these people probably won't be able to handle/endure another "NOTHING changes", mundane, harsh, boring, & same reality, day by day, over and over again... no more!!... especially with the worsened society & humanity (ie: more shallow, dumb, stupid, shallow & meaningless materialism and plastic superficiality) as each year seems to pass by.

Seriously? We are using a two dimensional video to determine this things size and projector without using a three dimentional view???

Who's to say its not a spec of dust floating very slowly in front of the camera?

No.. lets all jump on the bandwagon and say it's a huge object barreling down on us!!!

Astronomers on earth do not see anything in that "area of space".. to me this would indicate there is there to report that would warrant anyones attention.

Hype.. and lies.. ATS members are gullible...

it is a asteroid,suppose to fly by earth tomorrow morning,just read it on yahoo news

A giant asteroid will make a flyby of Earth over the next few days, and armchair astronomers can watch the action live on their computers
