[quote:Waterbug:MV8yMTI5MTU1XzM1OTM5MTU5XzJBNUE0RDNC] [quote:McKenna:MV8yMTI5MTU1XzM1OTM4NjM1X0M4NDVENzc2] Here is some helpful information to add to this debate from taken from NASA.GOV's article pertaining to this particular NEO.: Full Article: http://www.nasa.gov/topics/solarsystem/features/asteroidflyby.html "Q: What is asteroid DA14 A: Asteroid 2012 DA14 is a small near-Earth object – approximately 150 feet (45 meters) in diameter. On Feb. 15, 2013, the asteroid will pass by our planet at a remarkably close distance, but the asteroid’s path is understood well enough that there is no chance of a collision with the Earth. Q: What date and what time will the asteroid be closest to Earth? A: Asteroid 2012 DA14 will be closest to Earth on Feb. 15 at approximately 19:24 UTC (2:24 p.m. EST/11:24 a.m. PST). This time may change by a minute or two as the asteroid is tracked on its approach and predictions are refined. [u]At the time of closest approach, the asteroid will be over the eastern Indian Ocean, off Sumatra -- approx. latitude: -6 deg South. / longitude: 97.5 deg East.[/u] Q: What would happen if DA14 were to impact Earth? A: Asteroid 2012 DA14 will not impact Earth, but if another asteroid of a size similar to that of 2012 DA14 (about 150 feet across) were to impact Earth, it would release approximately 2.5 megatons of energy in the atmosphere and would be expected to cause regional devastation. [b][color=darkblue]A comparison to the impact potential of an asteroid the size of 2012 DA14 could be made to the[color=red] impact [/color]of a near-Earth object that occurred in 1908 in Tuguska, Siberia. Known in the asteroid community as the "Tunguska Event," this [color=red]impact[/color] of an asteroid just slightly smaller than 2012 DA14 (approximately 100 – 130 feet/30-40 meters across) is believed to have flattened about 750 square miles (1,200 square kilometers) of forest in and around the Podkamennaya Tunguska River in what is now Krasnoyarsk Krai, Russia."[/color][/b] --END QUOTE-- Having said all that, I will say I agree with the idea of a cover up, non-warning scenario, if this thing were to be projected to hit us, to prevent mass hysteria. On that note I will bring up a similar incident in 2002-2003 with 2002 NT7 where it was discovered as an object likely to impact and the information was released to the public. Many many articles and stories were published online and even in main stream news claiming doomsday and apocalypse were imminent. Example: http://www.jerrypournelle.com/reports/jerryp/hammer.html It turned out to be redefined as usual once additional observations were obtained. My point? They did tell us. It doesn't mean they will tell us in the future, but goes to show, I suppose, that the future is just...uncertain. It is fun sometimes and even exciting to speculate, but let's not assume anything in our amazing physical would is 100% certain. Certainty is only in death! Everything else is constantly changing and subject to unforeseen variables such that only time will tell the real outcome. Enjoy! Life is exciting, no? [/quote] Well, first of all.. The Tunguska wasn't an impact, but an airburst.. at somewhere between 15,000-30,000 feet. No fragments have been found.. no crater. The object vaporized. Secondly... the size was between 50-100 meters.. Thirdly... it flattened 500,000 acres[2000 square km]. And, finally... released the energy of 15 megatons of TNT. Why are they downplaying this, I wonder...? :cruise: [/quote]

The gravitational pull of the earth will in fact pull this baby in.
The impact site is unknown .
The scientific data has purposely been altered to cover this story up.
Even certain shills on this website have gone far enough to post trumped up data on this in the form of youtube video, and this person(s) are part of the cover up.
I know a few people on the higher up scale that said it was orginally not supposed to hit but it has been confirmed their data was dead wrong.
Lets just hope this thing doesnt land in a highly populated area.
Your government will hold an emergency broadcast 2 days before the event.
godspeed everyone.. i hope we get through this.
