I think everything on JPL is UTC. Therefore 11pm UTC would be 5pm Central for me. I'll try to give the plot I created in excel which made me suspicious.

what everyone keeps assuming is that this rock is actually 400km. can any of you verify it's size? please do share. so i mean...if we're going all out conspiracy here...let's assume that they're lying about the size, too...

The big question of the matter is... going by your new data, will it get close enough to the Earth to get caught by our gravity and make an impact?

Normally I agree on conspiracy things, but on this..... Well, Governments don't own the equipment for the most part in what finds and tracks much of this. Universities and other private holders do all over the world. Universities with the same kinds of folks out there in OWS with crushing student debt. I.E...Not the type of people I can see supporting a cover up and they're working with the equipment watching these objects as much as the Earth turns them in the right direction.
Phage disappearing actually got my attention to be a little concerned..given the timing and all. Welcome back Phage! ...but I don't think NASA or the U.S. Government could hide a legitimate and visually trackable object even if they wanted to. Too many private hands in the pie to control them all. It's how close the margin of error is for this one.....Well, we'll know by tomorrow night.

They can be assumed as relatively linear when you are referencing such a small window. Why else would the day to day distances for all other days be relatively linear? When looking at a week long scope, the orbital deviations are negligible. I'm addressing a greater than negligible deviation here.edit on 7-11-2011 by TomServo because: (no reason given)

Using your data. is there any way to figure out how close it will be to the moon?
