Asteroid 2012 DA14 may hit communications satellite in (Feb 15) 2013
Asteroid 2012 DA14, discovered early this year by the LaSagra Observatory in Spain, will pass inside the geosynchronous satellite ring about 35,800 km above the equator on Feb. 15, 2013. Astronomers say the asteroid may hit a communications satellite.

Same timeframe, Space.com released this:

One Earth radius is roughly 3,963 miles (6,378 kilometers) at the equator. So by this reckoning, the nearest 2012 DA14 can get to us next year is 12,680 miles (20,406 km).

For comparison, satellites in geosynchronous orbit circle our planet at an altitude of 22,245 miles (35,800 km). Other satellites orbit much lower. The International Space Station, for example, flies at around 240 miles (386 km) above the planet.

Thread: Asteroid 2012 DA14 to sweep close on February 15, 2013 closer than closer than the orbits of geosynchronous satellites
A near-Earth asteroid – called 2012 DA14 by astronomers – will pass very close to Earth on February 15, 2013. Astronomers estimate that, when it’s closest to us, it’ll be within the orbit of the moon (which is about 240,000 miles away), and within the orbits of geosynchronous satellites.

That's what got me just after posting that reply about the satellites. Doesn't explain why it is a 'Supernatural' Bomb. But, if an asteroid raked a path through one of the satellite fields, I would imagine it would be like a bomb going off. If you look at those vids I posted and imagine some of the satellites getting hit...look at all the other satellites that will be directly within that debris field! Could be a cascade of failing satellites.

That's what I was thinking, the size of it. But, up there, even it the asteroid was 2 or 3 times bigger, I think the chances of it hitting would still be relatively the same.

Electrical discharge or something may be a factor. As far as the asteroid having enough mass to shift the 'bird' our of orbit by gravity...I imagine it would have to be extremely close for any of that kind of effect, if it even would have an effect.

Yes. It is really interesting though, that regardless of size, these things are whizzing by close enough to disrupt our civilization. We have no defenses against a cosmic "hailstorm".
