@BadAstronomer Found this video of Russian Meteor http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7c-0iwBEswE …

@BadAstronomer C'mon CNN stop talking about the cruise ship and talk about real news like the meteor.

@BadAstronomer I haven't calculated the asteroid's gravitational force yet, or googled it. Are there estimates?

@BadAstronomer maybe a batch of meteorites being precursor to #DA14 and probable some afterwards.. #2012

@BadAstronomer I take it you haven't seen Battle: LA?

@BadAstronomer that was going to be my question. Could smaller ancillary meteors be around this asteroid?

@BadAstronomer Perhaps this meteor is debris/fragments preceding the asteroid?

@BadAstronomer "I don’t *think* this meteor is related to #2012DA14;" So Phil, is this a stray piece (more to come)? How do you know?

@BadAstronomer it's friends came first. Not coincidence. IMO

@BadAstronomer No, NASA just forgot to synchronize its atomic clock.

@BadAstronomer I'm thinking it is related but was too small to detect earlier. Hoping it didn't travel with friends.

@BadAstronomer you r correct good time for a distraction

@BadAstronomer It's not coincidence it's because of Global Warming.

@BadAstronomer I wonder if they're being pushed at us by the asteroid's gravity? Carried in on its wave, as it were, like floating detritus?
