Whale-sized asteroid capable of DESTROYING a major city skimmed past our planet at just a third of the distance between Earth and the moon – and NASA didn't even notice
The asteroid, known as 2017 VL2, travelled by Earth on November 9
2017 VL2 flew by at around 73,000 miles (117,480 km) from our planet
This is around a third of the distance between Earth and the moon
It has now emerged NASA did not find out about it until a day later

Impossible! At least that was what was claimed on a thread a few months ago (Ubiru thread?).

Hmmm. Not sure if by choice. Especially this one because there was no impact. Therefore, why even lie about it? The galaxy is too big. There is no way NASA will see everything coming our way. At least, that's my opinion

As Ferris Bueller said of Cameron's dad's 1961 Ferrari 250 GT California,
It is so choice. If you have the means, I highly recommend picking one up.

Perhaps it was an actual whale. #Hitchhiker
