E.L.E ASTEROID ALERT ONLY FOUND 28TH AUGUST THREE TIMES FOOTBALL FIELDS TO PASS EARTH AND MOON.
NEAR-EARTH ASTEROID: A relatively large asteroid, just discovered on August 28th, will fly past the Earth-Moon system on Sept 14th only 2.8 million km (7.4 lunar distances) away. 2012 QG42 is about as wide as three football fields and comes to us from just beyond the orbit of Mars. Astronomers who are now monitoring the space rock say it shines about as brightly as a 15th magnitude star.

---------------------

I had a strong vision of this hitting the Atlantic Ocean.

What part of "7.4 lunar distances" you don't understand?

Three foot ball fields isn't an ELE sorry. We need something the size of a large mountain to create that effect.

I guess it would be the bit that puts it further away than the Moon.

Too far away to be a bother.

Nice size though, and size really doesn't matter too much, it is the velocity that counts too!
Have someone toss a marshmallow at you, and it just bounces to the floor.
Now, have that marshmallow fired at you at 200,000 mph and it's going to kill you.

The only thing frightening here is the lateness the object was found.

I've always had the feeling if we ever get hit by a true ELE it will be coming so far we barely get notice or no notice at all.
