It leads us to think if such objects are only detected days before hitting earth then lets pray NASA's NEO (Near Earth Program) is able to detect the larger ones with greater notice than just a few days or hours!.
Disclose.tv Asteroid Just Misses Earth. Video
A team of astronomers from Italy captured images of the asteroid that passed by Earth Wednesday at a distance one-third that between the Earth and the moon.
The rock, between 30 and 50 feet across, was not in danger of striking the planet and probably would have burned up in the atmosphere before hitting Earth’s surface, if it had headed our way. The asteroid, dubbed 2010 AL30 was first spotted and announced Monday. It is the closest encounter Earth will have with any known object until 2024.
