Default Asteroid 2004 AS1 a Close Call that was WARNED of?

So you just heard on 1/13 Bush was set to warn the world of a major
asteroid IMPACT


No he wasn't. He didn't even know about it.

500M Asteroid Impact on earth = NO SURVIVORS


Not according to current estimates that indicate the threshold is
in the 1 to 2 km range, and also quite irrelevant, given that the
object's brightness corresponded to a 50 meter object on the orbit
that produced the impact solution.

Well IT MISSED but if it had hit a 500M object would have been an
EXTINCTION LEVEL EVENT

The famous modern seer named Sollog warned in April 2002 that such
CLOSE CALLS with asteroids would start occurring before a major IMPACT
really does hit the earth around 2020


You're erroneously presupposing that it was a close call. In reality,
the object got no closer than 0.08 AU. The initial orbit computations
had significant uncertainty associated with them.
