It is not a hoax. The date/time was probably set wrong on the camera.
There is video of this event popping up all over the place.
A large asteroid is passing within earths satellite belt today… apparently it had a little buddy flying along with it. Perhaps this is not over yet and there is more to come.
A better video on the asteroid.
Luckily it passed nowhere near the White House or Pentagon. We'd be past DEFCON 1 by now.
I don't think the USA should have tested a new nuclear weapon over Russia last nite.
This is like 1917 in the sky.
I wonder why Russia/Siberia is the place to be for these events

That asteroid near miss this morning in the scheme of things is a serious wakeup call for future endeavours which may not miss unless we do something about it before impact. And apparently we need quite a bit of lead time to even contemplate doing such a thing.
I expect a lot more meteor movies. Maybe a new Sar Trek based on a meteor killing off all of earth's habitants and forcing the Star Trek crew to colonize the moon. Or Mars. I wonder if Captain Picard is dead? Or maybe raise Captain Kirk from the dead? Oh, my.
The thread title reminded me of Skyfall - the James Bond movie which I just watched. Sad to see 007's old Aston Martin finally destroyed.

I think they are going to place a giant air-bag around Planet Earth to protect us from the next one
Seriously though, this is indeed a wake-up call.
Apparently it was the Spaniards who 1st detected Friday's asteroid.
