CNET reports that two asteroids, 2017 FU102 and 2017 FT102, passed the Earth on 2 April and 3 April.
The near-Earth asteroid 2017 FU102 was discovered by the Mt. Lemmon Survey in Arizona (USA) on 29 March 2017. Today (April 2, 2017), it will have a very close, but safe encounter with the Earth (about 0.6 times the mean distance of the moon).
[...] this ~10 meters large rock will reach its minimum distance from us of 143,000 miles (230,000 km).
The other object, 2017 FT102, is smaller and its approach to the Earth was at a greater distance. It was also discovered on 29 March.
[By comparison, the Chelyabinsk meteor was estimated to be 20 meters in diameter. --Ed.]

Why are there no other bot comments on the sight tonight? Bad vission la faire? Oh, they know we are here, but they cannot spell well enough to capture us! This was always the weakness of the invaders, Linquistics. Have you not seen "Arrival"? Did you not realize that it was a real-time distress signal, and that all humans are to, well, do something. Maybe remove Bill O'Reilly?? Hardly the least that and extra-trannstorialklllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
