More curious, however, about these events are the new reports coming from the United States
Space Agency NASA, and as we can read as reported by the AFP News Service:
"An asteroid hurtling towards Mars has a one in 75 chance of chance of scoring a direct hit on
the red planet next month, NASA experts said in a statement Friday.
The US space agency's Near Earth Object Program (NEOP) revealed that the asteroid's exact
course was difficult to predict, but said it could slam into Mars on January 30, leaving a crater
measuring an estimated 1 kilometer across.
If the asteroid, which has been named 2007 WD5, missed Mars as expected it could return to
swing past Earth years or decades later, but there was no indication of a threat to the planet,
scientists said.
A collision with Mars would be likely to send an enormous dust cloud into the planet's
atmosphere.
The exact path of the asteroid, which was discovered in November by the NASA-funded Catalina
Sky Survey near Tucson, Arizona, was becoming increasingly difficult to observe because it was
receding from the Earth, scientists said.
The asteroid, believed to measure around 50 meters (160 feet) across, had already passed within
7.5 million kilometers (5 million miles) of Earth in early November.
NEOP scientists at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in La Canada Flintridge in California told the
Los Angeles Times they were excited by the possibility of an asteroid striking Mars, describing it
as "wildly unusual."
"We're used to dealing with odds like one-in-a-million," said astronomer Steve Chesley.
"Something with a one-in-a-hundred chance makes us sit up straight in our chairs."
What makes this report from NASA most intriguing, though, is that the location from which this
asteroid hurtling towards Mars has come from is, also, the last known location of the missing
Comet Boethin last seen in the Asteroid Belt, and when this information is coupled with the
Japanese reports of the mysterious missile launches from our Moon does raise some serious
concerns of what is occurring in our Solar System.
It is, also, interesting to note that American Planetary Scientists are estimating that this asteroid
could be targeting the region of Mars where the United States spacecraft Mars Rover
Opportunity is now located, and which Russian Space Scientists know well as on March 26,
1989, the Soviet Unions Phobos 2 Mars Satellite, while on a mission around the Red Planet, was
‘attacked’ without warning by what has been described as a ‘massive UFO’ and, presumably,
shot down.
Long has it been know, throughout all of our Earth’s history, of our human races’ connection
with the War Planet Mars, even to some suggesting that we are indeed descendents from those
who once lived on the Red Planet. To the truth of these things there are many opinions, but, what
remains the truest is that, once again, our World’s attention is being focused towards the Heavens
as our own World continues its deepening plunge towards they abyss.
