[glpvideo]http://video.godlikeproductions.com/video/Asteroide_2005_YU55_-_Tercer_Milenio_Espa%C3%B1ol?id=09fe2d657f866fe86c8[/glpvideo] [/quote] I will translate it for you guys. Give me a while please. Thanks. [/quote] Here's the complete translation for this video as requested. Karma points for my time are appreciated!! [i]"In social networks, an asteroid the size of an aircraft carrier will pass between the Earth and the moon, and it has nothing to do with Comet Elenin. This space rock is named 2005 YU55, it will come within a distance of 326,740km. Astronomers say that this is the closest that an asteroid has come to our planet since 1976. Despite scientists designating this object as potentially hazardous, there is no reason to fear. On Facebook, there are comments that suggest that Comet Elenin’s tail could push YU55’s trajectory off course, and redirect it towards our planet. However, Comet Elenin’s tail is less dense than the smoke of a cigarette. In an initial estimation, it was believed that the asteroid had a diameter of 400 meters. Recently, the website SpaceWeather.com, which is a NASA website, published that the diameter is 175 meters and its orbit around the sun is of 14 years. The asteroid will come closest to our planet on November 8, 2011 at 23:28 hrs. This poses a bigger threat than Elenin since it YU55 will pass between the Moon and the Earth. These asteroids are potentially dangerous, because their encounters with planets such as ours could have devastating consequences. The Asteroid 2005 YU55 was discovered by Spacewatch of the Lunar and Planetary Laboratory at the University of Tucson, Arizon. Said celestial object, will be the one with the greatest magnitude that has approached our planet since 1976. The next one will take place in 2028. The website, The Times of India, calculates that if this asteroid were to impact, it would be the equivalent of 65,000 atomic bombs. It would leave a crater greater than 10km wide, and half a km deep. One of the greatest extinctions ever, affected life on Earth during the Triassic Period. And let us not forget the impact at Chicxulub in the Yucatan Peninsula which occurred 65 million years ago, and ended the dinosaur era, which dominated for 100,000 million years. The asteroid that made the dinosaurs extinct was 10km. Asteroid 2005 YU55, measures only 175 meters in comparison. However, for statistic purposes, an impact like that of Chicxulub will occur sooner than later. The question is; do humans possess the technology to deter an asteroid of that size. Asteroids typically reside in the neighborhood between Mars and Jupiter in the area known as the Asteroid Belt. But the approximation of YU55 is the closest approach of a potentially hazardous asteroid we’ve had since 1976, when the Asteroid 1976 AA which measured 130 meters came within a similar distance. The reality is that our planet will witness the impact of a potentially hazard asteroid sooner than later. The Asteroid 2005 YU55 is classified “potentially hazardous”. Not surprising, astronomers already have its trajectory well calculated. It will not impact our planet as many claim on social networks. Asteroid 2005 YU55 will be visible on November 8, 2011."[/i] I'd like to make an edit since I left out one word. In the paragraph talking about Chicxulub, the narrator refers to the "Permian-Triassic Period", whereas I simply said, "Triassic Period". I do apologize for that. Thank you! Again, sorry. [/quote]

I don’t believe in coincidences…
A rather large Asteroid (2005 YU55) will pass between the Earth and the Moon on 11/8/11 and 11/9/11: [

]
And it just so happens the United States will be conducting for the FIRST TIME EVER a “NATIONAL EMERGENCY BROADCAST TEST MESSAGE” to the NATION on, you guessed it 11/9/11: [
link to www.fema.gov
]
And then the head of NASA releases this: [

Call me paranoid, but I believe our Government believes that there is a chance that this Asteroid will hit the Earth or the Moon and is getting prepared just in case.
AND...
When FEMA made the announcement on June 9, 2011 the very next DAY June 10th NASA released the “Preparedness” Video.
