Q Radio – Aug 19, 2020
An asteroid the size of a car has flown past Earth closer than any seen before without hitting the planet – and NASA admits: “We didn’t see it coming.”
Known as asteroid 2020 QG, NASA said the space rock passed 1,830 miles (2,950 km) above the southern Indian Ocean on Sunday.
If it had actually been on an impact trajectory, it would likely have become a “fireball” as it broke up in the Earth’s atmosphere, the US space agency said.
There are hundreds of millions of small asteroids, but they are extremely hard to discover until they get very close to Earth.
“It’s really cool to see a small asteroid come by this close, because we can see the Earth’s gravity dramatically bend its trajectory,” said Paul Chodas, director of the Centre for Near-Earth Object Studies (CNEOS) at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California.
“Our calculations show that this asteroid got turned by 45 degrees or so as it swung by our planet.”
Due to its size, it is unlikely 2020 QG posed any danger to the planet.
However, it was only after the close shave that experts became aware of it.
Mr Chodas told Business Insider: “The asteroid approached undetected from the direction of the sun. We didn’t see it coming.”
It was first recorded as just a long streak in a wide-field camera image taken by the Zwicky Transient Facility in California – a robotic telescope which scans the sky for moving objects like comets and asteroids.
The image was taken six hours after the closest point of approach as the asteroid, measuring between three to six metres across and travelling at about 27,600mph (44,400kph) – almost eight miles per second – was heading away from Earth.
Many very small asteroids hit Earth each year, but only a few have actually been detected in space a few hours before impact.
On average, an asteroid the size of 2020 QG passes this closely only a few times a year.

So if they were only aware of it after the event, and the image (animation more like) from the Zwicky Facility was taken 6 hours after the closest point of approach…how do they know that the earth’s ‘gravity’ bent it’s trajectory by 45 degrees?
So let me get this straight, NASA cannot see what is going on in “space” with all of their telescopes on earth and satellites in orbit and cannot predict, detect or see a close fly by until after the supposed event has passed, but theorists ( educated guessers ) are attempting to convince us that something that is invisible undetectable and pure speculation and has never been observed or documented throughout history is coming. ( planet X, Niburu, Marduk ) How freaking gullible are we to these deceivers and fantasy merchants ?! Good use of logic and rational thought along with critical thinking can dispel a truckload of B.S. easily, it is too bad that these attributes are in sparse use in today’s world. And these charlatans and theorists are among the first to reject and deny the documented facts, evidence and documentation that prove beyond any reasonable doubt that Jesus lived and died. In an upside down world where the truth is based on belief and opinion without any empirical evidence, the Liars are King ! I will remind you that …The Emperor has no clothes !

I saw a burn up near Heathrow one morning. Early, but clear cloudless skies, clearly it was pretty high. I expected to see fake news reports, but nothing… makes you wonder what ‘they’ are doing.
Bullshit. There are no asteroids, no planets. We live on a flat earth plane. Read F. Amadeo Gianini’s – “world beyond the poles” for proof. It’s free online as a PDF. The Simpson Movie and The Trueman Show have the dome as a central theme.
