Huge ass meteor coming towards earth. Chance of collision is low, but even if it doesn't collide it has the potential for massive damage due to it's negative charge.

Thoughts?

I'll trust this when you point us to a page that doesn't have any videos on it.

I did some more research.

Found a few things, but no actual news articles, so it's legitimacy is debatable right now.

Edit: Huh I could have sworn someone just posted?

Not time to start preparing for the apocalypse yet I suppose.

I'm not sure what to think...this is kind of scary if true, but I'm not really sure how to check the validity of things like this. Hopefully it doesn't do too much damage.

EDIT: Ok I read SSBM roy's link and that addressed the collision, but all this stuff about charges and plasma is still confusing to me. I'm just going to forget about this.

Here's an interesting read on TU24:

EDIT: One of the members describes how TU24 will not hit us. Nothing much about the plasma discharge though.

The tunguska event was not caused by a 'plasma discharge'. The explosion was from the meteor exploding in mid-air. I wouldn't trust what that video has to say about the plasma discharge, it sounds too sensationalist. Besides, whoever made the video is a fucking idiot. It said that comet Holmes was the most massive object in the solar system at one point.

EDIT: never mind link already posted

i dont even know what to say
