If this was true, how many amatuer and 'pro' astronomers do you think would be screaming to high heaven that the world was coming to an end (ie: a world castastrophic event).
Again, if this was true, there would be NO stopping of this news getting out and being heard, and it surely wouldn't be confined to 'e-mails', blogs, and internet site's. This would be mainstream headline news.
Btw, found any reputable science or astronomy sites hailing or broadcasting this news?

megoquest I have read many post by people on this site and others about a comming impact from a comet or astroid. There is nothing you can really do. If for example, parts of comet NEAT, which became loose after a solar flare impact were headed on a path toward Earth, there is policy in the current administration not to report it. If a comet or astroid were to hit Canada, the fireball blast would take a certain amount of time to reach Texas. The time or speed of the fireball blast would depend on the size of the object. It would level and burn almost everything at ground level. Since most people do not have underground shelters like congress, the best defense for a regular Joe would be the new fire shelter tent which you could lay in inside a ditch. At least with this you wont be a piece of toast after you hear the loudest noise you ever heard. This will hold up to direct flames for about 36 seconds.

We deny ignorance and spread the idea that the mass media sources don't provide the whole truth, leading to massive ignorance and that is exactly WHY we have the ATS boards, yet you expect that our mass media sources would speak of something like this?

Regardless of this being a NASA/gov site, no one has discredited what was said: News of this type, as presented in this thread/topic, would NOT be able to be kept "hush-hush", its ludicrous to think so.
