That's NOT a Downgrade. Another Fail.

On 19 April 2010, highly accurate radar targeting by the Arecibo radio telescope reduced uncertainties about the orbit by 50 percent.[4] This improvement eliminated any possibility of an impact with the Earth for the next 100 years.[4] It was removed from the Sentry Risk Table on 22 April 2010 and and as such it now has a rating of 0 on the Torino Scale.

Original Message
NASA tracks and has been tracking all near earth objects (NEO’s) and the data is reflected on NASA’s Jet Propulsion Lab’s (JPL’s) website.
What is interesting is the NEO object designated 2005 YU55 has now has had a change in the ”condition code” in JPL’s data.
