Strange Structures Reported on Asteroid YU55

Both the BBC and The LA Times have reported what astronomers are calling, “strange structures” on the surface of Asteroid YU55. According to radar astronomer Lance Benner, “The animation reveals a number of puzzling structures on the surface that we don’t yet understand. To date, we’ve seen less than one half of the surface, so we expect more surprises.” YU55 is the largest asteroid to come close to Earth in 200 years. At its closest, YU55 is still a comfortable 200,000 miles away. From collected data scientists have been able to project the asteroid’s path for the next 64 years. Their projections don’t show YU55 coming close to Earth again until 2075.
Remember FEMA’s Nationwide alert today at 2pm EST is “only a test.”

FEMA Issues Warning About November 9 Emergency Test

FEMA will be doing a nationwide test of Emergency Procedures Wed November 9 at 2pm. For some reason their standard message about “This is a test…” will not be written across the bottom of the screen. Instead it will say that this is an emergency alert. So FEMA is letting us know that this is only a test. Oddly enough YU 55 will be passing over head dropping fireballs on us and another massive emergency “test” will be going on in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Just what the hell is going on ?
