There are 9721 Near-Earth Objects known as of Feb 16th. 862 of them are asteroids that are 1 kilometer wide or larger, and 1379 of them are classified as Potentally Hazardous Asteroids. It is estimated that this makes up less than 10% of all of the near-earth objects in our solar system.

And they didn't see it shortly before it hit the earth why?

The video footage I've seen seems to indicate it went all the way down to the ground. Video tape doesn't lie.

Most of the damage caused by a Nuclear bomb is caused by the waveform it creates. A numb that explodes when it hits the ground causes less damage than one exploding overhead. To maximize the waveform a bomb has to be exploded at just the right height. The Hiroshima bomb did much more damage with a much lower yield.

Right. So how come this meteor that was twenty or thirty times a nuke that hit Japan didn't do any damage?

Exactly. Maybe they were trying to hit the US - and missed. Maybe their second try landed off the coast of Florida. Why isn't our government looking into this?

So now you are saying some of the video footage is faked? Not good? Not shot under the right conditions?

Doesn't look like a meteor at all to me. Looks like a missile.
This looks like a missile that hit the ground and exploded.

So now we have rocks exploding thirty miles in the atmosphere because of friction? There isn't much friction thirty miles up. In fact, there isn't any air at that point.
How do we know what happened in Tunguska in the early 1900s? The only thing we know is the damage it did. At least that meteor seems to have knocked down a few trees. But did we have any working knowledge of what happens thirty miles in our atmosphere in the early 1900s? No, we didn't. We also didn't have any recording devices, or any tracking devices. No one has any idea how high it was when it "hit".
You are just making stuff up at this point.

There is no radiation to report - or they aren't reporting how much radiation is there?
Wouldn't there be radiation - this so called meteor just passed through the radiation belt while no one was seeing it on it's way to earth.

My father had a video camera twenty years prior to 9/11. I had one ten years prior to 9/11.
Do you honestly meant to tell me that in a city of eight million people and five million tourists that morning, not one person had a video camera trained on one of the two biggest tourist attractions in the big apple that morning, but yet we have dozens of Russians running around with dashcams in Siberia?
