UT sounds like Utah time or something.

Is UT the timezone on the meteor? Just a thought.

Oh, and universal time isn't the same as GMT. There is a very subtle difference which I can't remember, but a quick Google will reveal all.

Ah, I was a bit premature then. Not for the first time.

So, what about now?

Did anyone see it? Or feel the earth wobble slightly as it went past?

Hang on, what are EDT and UT?

Nice to get a bit of the Ol'Doom and Gloom - eh ?

.. NASA’s Near-Earth Object Program Office replied to an inquiry about the object and said the newly discovered NEO 2010 TD54 is approximately 5-10 meters in size, and is now predicted to pass about 46,000 km from Earth’s surface at about 07:25 EDT (11:25 UT) on Tuesday, Oct 12, 2010. It was discovered by Catalina Sky Survey on Saturday morning.

“Only 1 in a million chance of an impact,” Yeomans said, “and even if it does impact, it is not large enough to make it through the Earth’s atmosphere to cause ground damage.”

Hold on a bleedin' mo - only a chance in a million - sounds like the old NASA NearEarth Office is trying to scare us all to justiy their budget - Cor Blimely - wot will they think of next - 'Guv ???
