Weird Object Headed Towards Earth


Well I doubt the object is a Goa'uld Mothership coming to enslave humanity, a Borg cube from the future to change our current timeline and make us all Borg drones, or the starship Enterprise doing a slingshot around the sun in search of some whales before they become extinct. More than likely it is an asteroid that measures 11m wide and will make its closest approach to Earth at 7:45 EST at a distance of 130,000km.

Some snippets from the article:

A weird object that left some observers wondering if it was a piece of space junk is most likely just a small asteroid, and will zoom close by Earth Wednesday, NASA scientists say. It may be visible to seasoned amateur astronomers as it passes harmlessly by the planet.
There was some early speculation that the object was a part of a derelict spacecraft, but NASA scientists have concluded that it is most likely a simple space rock flying near Earth.
