Not to be a pill if you read closely I said "something it knocked out of orbit" not it. Because yes, if it had decided to hit the planet we'd be glued to CNN or something right now.
One of the interesting things to me is the 'herd' phenomena that comes about because of gravity creating clumps of things which, when they collide with something else become a sort of herd moving in a similar direction. Comet tails, and wandering asteroids, rarely do things fly through space it seems without some sort of companion material flying along with them.
Not the case here according to sources who say it had a different orbit than 2014-DA14 but it was something I was wondering about. Has anyone found a USAF Space Command radar track yet?
