Sorry, I've only been skimming the posts in the thread. In the back of my mind I've been wondering how the two space rocks could be related even though they were headed in almost in opposite directions. Your talk of spacebased kinetic energy weapons got me thinking....If a space rock fragments from an explosion it could result in two rocks moving in opposite directions. Alternatively, the two space rocks and their trajectories could be the result of an improbable collision in recent years.
