Asteroid 2007 TU24 has NASA concerned.

reply to post by GioTheGreek


According to the author of the video I posted, here's what he had to say -

originally stated by TU24dotORG
No. That's just the invisible (possible) electromagnetic effects. Could mean earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, fireballs, etc. Just a heads up.

You can read more of the discussions made about this subject on the youtube page under the video. (www.youtube.com...)

In answer all i can say is a hit would certainly not make anyones day....
tsunamis 5 mtrs (15ft) wiped out all those islands not long back.. this would be catastrophic and no-one is prepared

Can anyone tell me why at all I should take this seriously? What is the big deal. I see nothing being covered up.

Its the first thing on the schedule.

Yeah, I think this one is bit of a beat up. Things larger than that have passed within moon orbit in fairly recent times (just look up NEA's wherever your heart fancies).

If it was something as large as the Sears Tower, it wouldn't have too much mass compared to a larger asteroid, say around 1Km across. If it were that big, then I'd be running for the hills. It's most likely a ball of ice that will burn up/skip off the atmosphere.

Something as big as a skyscraper wouldn't have the gravity at all to generate any tsunamis (maybe if it hits water, but not passing us by).

The animation on that NASA site can't really tell us anything accurate. But if it did hit, and it wasn't just ice, it would probably cause some significant damage...

Ah, Dulcimer! Glad to see you stopping by.

Indeed, certain sources do show 2007TU42 as an extremely interesting NEO. The points in question here, as I see them, are:

Is this NEO an impact threat?

Is this NEO a plasma discharge threat?

What might NASA know beyond "potential threat" status?

Where is the mainstream covereage?

This "news" this article is about is coming from a conspiracy website.

The article is about NASA not updating info. I do not see that.

Whats the news?

reply to post by damajikninja


Could'na said it better Dama

I doubt there will be any mainstream coverage. Someone might mention it... after it happens.

Nopers. Doesn't give the approach vector. (alawys wanted to be able to use those two words together in the same sentence! approach vector, approach vector, sounds all official and stuff)
Wormwood isn't a comet, anyway, at least, it doesn't sound like one to me after studying it for awhile.

reply to post by Dulcimer

The idea of NASA not updating info has pretty much been debunked, as datestamps on their website are current. The discussion now pretty much centers around the points I have outlined above.

LMAO Approach Vector!!!

Without detouring too far from the thread topic, can you quickly tell me what you think Wormwood is?

EDIT: Oops! Didn't mean to post twice in a row. Should have used my edit button.

First of all... great to see you Undo..... Ive been following your other thread from the back and have been trying to get through your OL books....... not sleepin much lol


Second of all... I.m new to all this and i though given the urgency in the origonal post/article this was worthy of posting here as a news item.
After all its the first Ive heard/read about it at all.

Please forgive my (not-so) youthful excitement.

thirdly to the rest. thanks for the support ( and the stars whatever they mean lol)

Well, there could still be some level of conspiracy to this topic... depending on how much of a threat this thing really is.

If the threat is high, and known to high-ranking officials in government and/or NASA, the conspiracy is in the fact that not many people know about this.

Or, if there is a threat, but the publicly disclosed data does not reflect the threat, we have yet another conspiracy.

And of course, if there is no threat, well then clearly there is no conspiracy.

So what we really need to do here is determine a threat level. Only then can we really cast allegations of conspiracy.

Ain't it a cool phrase? Sorta like "Targetting computer" and bullseyeing wamp rats in the t-16 back home. (they're not much bigger than two meters.)

The odds of successfully navigating an asteroid field are approximately 3720 to 1!

Never tell me the odds.

Famous phrases for 2000, Alex.

Anyway, well I'ma thinking that Wormwood is a huge mothership. There are several reasons for this, including the fact it poisons the water, which a rock is just not gonna do unless it's a very weird rock

It certainly is interesting mungo, thanks for bringing it to our attention. Even if it isn't a threat, it's an interesting thing to watch-and-wait for

This thing might pass only 1,4 lunar distances from Earth. The gravity on Earth and the moon is strong enough to keep the moon in orbit around the Earth. What if this thing hit our moon? Or if it may cause some distrurbance to the moon somehow. We need our moon...

reply to post by Hellmutt

Excellent point, Hellmutt.

Can anyone find telemetry data to exact the location of our moon during the near-miss of the asteroid?

BTW: While searching around for info, I have noticed that some threads and discussions on other sites concerning this encounter have been deleted or removed. Mostly on Yahoo. Interesting...

it's interesting, no doubt about it, but when the end of january comes nothing will happen at all. if it was even remotely serious it would have been on the news frequently.

On 30 January 2008 an asteroid has a good change of hitting Mars. Asteroid 2007 WD5

Strange coincidence.
