'It's Obama's fault we had a meteor hit us!' "He's an alien!'

[Caster13]

If they said that then they've truly run out of Muslim insults.

Only 2-5 meters? Earth gets smacked every day by such things. Tell me when the rock is the size of a small city.

[Ridley-X4]

lol, 2-5 meters. Still, that's going to get a lot of money from space rock collectors.

[Ken-Ohki]

2-5 meters is decently sized. That's about twice as big as you or I or any other average human. If it fell near something important it could do significant damage but in a remote part of Sudan it's unlikely to cause any harm. Probably made quite the bang too. But no, this is no city destroyer.

I second this post being awesome.


This thread is starting to become insanely awesome by itself.

[Leader Desslock]

Do we know for a fact that a meteor hit Earth? Or is this some sort of Terra-centric propaganda to cover up the fact that Earth ran over a poor little meteor that was just harmlessly floating in space, minding its own business?

[Old Ape Face]

Think this was a test from a Meteor radar detector, meaning the Meteor that hit wasn't the point of the project, the actually capability of pinpointing where it landed, it's mass, velocity, Ecs... was the point of it's calculation.

so yay it works now let's hope a massive meteor doesn't come to kill us all

It was 2 meters and burned up in the atmosphere. It would be a slightly larger problem if an asteroid the size of Texas impacted the Earth.

[Ken-Ohki]

Burned up? It said it unleashed between 1 and 2 kilotons of force. It's possible that it did that in the atmosphere but if that force hit the earth in a city that would devastate a few blocks

Edit:
Here's a 1 kiloton explosion from Youtube

This thread is made of awesomeness

[Mr March]

Omg, I must have really hit the funny bone with that one. It was my pleasure fellas :)

[CrossboneGundam]

It burned up in the atmosphere, that happens literally every day.

[Ken-Ohki]

Yeah Crossbone, I looked up a different article that showed it did in fact burn up. The only reason this is news now is that it was tracked before burning up in the atmosphere.

[Jia]

I still blame this on Sephiroth and the black materia :P

[Caster13]

^Good thing you didn't bring that up on a FF forum. the whole message board would be one giant fangasm.

[Jia]

LOL
It would of :devil:

[goddessofanime]

Maybe it's the aliens who are supposedly coming to get us Tues.
