if there ARE more, then either the ****-end of russia or canada should cop 'em, which should be ok as neither are very heavily populated areas.
(RT are focusing on the chris dorner thing atm, but the main news is on in 10, so i'll be looking for said astronomer chappie!)

Not saying this is fact - but...

The meteor explosion released as much energy as a nuclear blast, Nature magazine reports – a blast much larger than North Korea's recent test:

Infrasound data collected by a network designed to watch for nuclear weapons testing suggests that today's blast released hundreds of kilotonnes of energy. That would make it far more powerful than the nuclear weapon tested by North Korea just days ago and the largest rock crashing on the planet since a meteor broke up over Siberia's Tunguska river in 1908.

"It was a very, very powerful event," says Margaret Campbell-Brown, an astronomer at the University of Western Ontario in London, Canada, who has studied data from two infrasound stations near the impact site. Her calculations show that the meteoroid was approximately 15 metres across when it entered the atmosphere, and put its mass at around 40 tonnes. "That would make it the biggest object recorded to hit the Earth since Tunguska," she says.

This is totaly speculative but what if they r just telling us (about the other one thats to pass by us later today) all this crap about missing us just to ward off any fear or mass hysteria? obviously russia didnt see that coming.

[sergeantflynn]

I don`t think it was a meteorite.
