One consequence of this is that if an Alinda asteroid happens to be in an unfavorable position for viewing at the time of its close approach to Earth (for instance, at a small elongation from the Sun), then this situation can persist for decades. Indeed, as of 2010, the Alinda asteroid 1915 Quetzálcoatl had been observed only once since 1985. Another consequence is that some of these asteroids make repeated relatively close approaches to Earth, making them good subjects for study by Earth-based radar. Examples are 4179 Toutatis and 6489 Golevka. |

Over 50% of the Russians believe that the United States did just that, with a force of many nuclear bombs. How do they do it? Use a spaceship and tractor beam to change the asteroid orbit. For instance the USAF has an antigrav ship the TR-3B, its antigrav might work as a tow line in the asteroid belt. Thread: 100% Proof The Military Has Alien TR-3B Craft to Travel Into Space Natural weapons are better than nukes, nukes are hard to impossible to cover up, they are basically expensive weapons that are never used and must be decommissioned and recycled because the nuclear material degrades over time. HAARP can steer hurricanes and demolish whole areas and cities, it is a wonderful weapon in the hands of Zionists practicing "creative destruction" as people have to spend money to fix the shit destroyed by the banksters. Asteroids are slung inif by god's hand, with an asteroid and top secret space craft the minions of evil can have fun pulverizing earth. |

It was witnessed falling from the sky in China in 1516 AD. Wow Astro, how did you get your hands on it? Technically it's considered an iron meteorite, but it looks more like the stony iron you have pictured there (just the way the crust looks). I purchased it at the NASA visitor center a few years ago. It's fairly small, fits in the palm of your hand, but it's not one of those tiny shavings of a meteorite they sometimes sell. It wasn't too expensive though, less than 20 bucks.
