Just another close call after the fact story.  Not really 
earth-shattering...  "the size of a football field" (what is the depth of a 
football field and are we talking American or the rest of the world 
football?).  It came within 120,000 km (75,000 miles) of earth and was 
first spotted some days afterward.  They estimate a collision might have 
been similar to what happened in 1908 over Siberia (Tunguska sp?).

I wonder...  if it had hit around the Indian-Pakistani border...
