hi, everyone the other day I posted a article about the meteorite "2014C" nasa said there's no worries of any impact with earth even as close as it is going to be. well nasa I believe you are dead wrong on this one. no surprise to that lol. today a small 'Meteorite' smashed into Nicaraguan capital. coincidental maybe, but I think it was a small junk that broke off from "2014RC" and fell to earth hitting the Nicaraguan capital. please let us know your thoughts on this. thank you every. "god bless"

Thanks for the post, benny!
I've read an article saying the meteorite was the size of a house.

That meteorite may have been simply following in the parent asteroid's (2014 RC) orbit, and was low enough in density to be captured by Earth's gravity.

It looks like I will need to dig out my old Skylab Crash Helmet. lol

Cheers,
Gerry

Thank you to everyone who has stuck by the YouTube channel and to all of our admins and forum users here on the channel.   They really have kept the website current while I have been busy taking care of things in my personal life.   I promised that the next video would be a long one and have a LOT to look at.  You can get lost in these Gigapans and I really hope that you do!  I spent a lot of time stitching these together and making sure that they were the best quality that I could get them.  SOL 1448 really has been a goldmine for anomaly hunters and those people who are just hobbiest.  I really hope you enjoy this one and expect much more to come from the latest batches of images!
