Okay, how many of you saw this?

Air Force remains silent after huge meteor hits near US military base
A meteor hit the earth and exploded with 2.1 kilotons of force last month, but the US Air Force has made no mention of the event.

NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory confirmed an object of unspecified size travelling at 24.4 kilometres per second struck earth in Greenland, just 43 kilometres north of an early missile warning Thule Air Base on the 25th of July, 2018.

Director of the Nuclear Information Project for the Federation of American Scientists, Hans Kristensen, tweeted about the impact, but America’s Air Force has not reported the event.

Probably hit in nowheres land, no biggy?
Geez....meteor strikes are a serious issue. I mean, the Yucitan (sp?) Peninsula is nowheres land, but it knocked out the dinosaurs. The universe is a shooting gallery, and eventually (tomorrow or 1-million years from now) some meteor will hit the bullseye.
 
Believe me, Im not taking it lightly, just commenting on how they might be handling it.

Science channel just did a good documentary on this last week. They have people monitoring space for anything heading our way that could be devastating. They are even working on ideas on what steps could be taken to deflect or destroy a meteor heading our way.

I once saw a movie about this. They fired some nukes at it but it didn't work.
