A newfound asteroid gave Earth a close shave early today, zipping between our planet and the moon just two days after astronomers first spotted it.
The near-Earth asteroid 2012 XE54, which was discovered Sunday (Dec. 9), came within 140,000 miles (230,000 kilometers) of our planet at about 5 a.m. EST (1000 GMT) Tuesday (Dec. 11), researchers said. For comparison, the moon orbits Earth at an average distance of 240,000 miles or so (386,000 km).

I've been trying to say that I think we might be in danger of getting hit by a significant asteroid or comet. This is proof in stone that we don't always catch these weeks, months, or years ahead.
I've been able to let go of a lot of "predictions" that I've encountered, despite many of my visions and what not being pretty damn accurate. This one fails to escape my mind still:
Through a series of strange happenings, I came across the idea that something with the power of about 10^20 joules of energy will impact this general area of the Atlantic Ocean.
I really, really hope I'm wrong. And if I'm right, I really, really hope I can somehow muster up the clarity of mind and courage to convince people to gtfo of there when that time does come.edit on 11-12-2012 by ProperlyErrant because: (no reason given)

Just looking at the numbers there haven't been more asteroids discovered for the second half of the year. On top of that we aren't seeing more NEAs make close approaches. The thing you must remember is that these asteroids are on stable orbits. If we were somehow drawing asteroids in these orbits would change and be noticed the world over. The reason you maybe noticing more NEA reports is because it is 2012 and as a result people are trying to tie anything in to the fast approaching date since it seems like nothing else is panning out.

It's funny you posted that, well not funny. But I had a dream awhile back, that I was talking to my ex on the phone and inside this dream the box bubble that allowed me to see her and my daughter in the background while she was talking to me on the phone as I looked outwards facing the bedroom windows. While we were talking, she completely cut out on me and the box bubble disappeared on me and then about a few seconds later I saw a huge tsunami like wave coming towards me, saw red and it felt like I was dying in my dream and then I woke up.
I HOPE that had nothing to do what you're talking about. I used to think it happened in a different time line in another Universe where I was still living in my old apartment given that I hadn't been fired from my job after getting caught smoking you know what which led to me moving to Ontario which is currently where I'm living today.
This is quite a scary thought, because I honestly don't want nothing to happen to my ex, nor my daughter. And they live in Nova Scotia.
