Mystery object to pass by Earth

Really surprised they can tell you what stars are like in different solar systems yet cannot identify something so close to earth.

so it passed by this morning? anybody see wtf it was?

To those wondering about telescopes, They are made to see BIG things FAR away,not tiny things close up (IE: Signs of man on the moon). Actually, telescopes are made to see anything close up.

Evidence of man on the Moon, from earth based telscopes equates to very small objects very far away...beyond the resolution of earth bound instruments...or even Earth orbital instruments. That issue has been resolved by LRO, which has clearly imaged the evidence of man's presence on the Moon. This object we are discussing (and which was closed a while... [More]

when are we gonna build something to actually see things in space?...i mean like good pics...like the stuff from all the moon landings, not that crap pics they put out a few months back...something good so you want to be able to see that flag on edge. because from earth that is what we would be looking at is it's top edge.

Maybe its one of David Beckham's penalty kicks coming back to earth. Was well wonky. LOL, thats keewl!
