NASA has revealed that a celestial object that went careening past our planet earlier last week was “probably” an asteroid, doing little to allay the fears of those determined to believe that it was actually an intergalactic junker, or maybe even a space whale.
Dubbed “2010 AL30″ in what is an obvious attempt to render it extremely uninteresting, the alleged asteroid came within 135,000 kilometres (less than 85,000 miles) of the Earth.
Some experts suggested that object could have been a man-made rocket from an early space mission, but NASA have since stated that it appears to have been an asteroid 10-15 metres (up to 50 feet) wide based on observations of the object’s orbit.
