While many Americans were just getting up or still sleeping back on February 6th, a massive fireball plunged into the Atlantic Ocean we are now learning from Daily Mail Science and a NASA spokesperson.

Were you aware that a massive explosion equal to 13,000 tons of TNT recently happened nearly 620 miles off of the coast of Brazil? As we're told, it's very unlikely that anyone saw it though it was likely picked up by military sensors across the world. NASA and other space experts were, once again, blindsided by it.

Telling us that this is fireball was the biggest to impact the planet since the Chelyabinsk fireball that had 500,000 tons of TNT energy a few years ago, we find out we're quite fortunate that this explosion took place over the ocean rather than land and according to the Daily Mail's 'Science presenter' Brian Cox, "there is an asteroid with our name on it and it will hit us" before giving us the bad news: "We are at risk of being wiped out by asteroids - and we're not taking the threat seriously."

Cox also tells us the planet Earth had a 'near-miss' only a few months ago when another asteroid that "we did not see" came very, very close to striking our planet: "We didn't see it...we saw it on the way out...but if it had just been a bit further over it would have probably wiped us out. These things happen."

Yes, they do... just ask the dinosaurs about it.

Quite disturbing is the statement made by Cox that "we're not taking the threat seriously." The same has been said about an EMP strike upon America. We know that one, whether mad-made or unleashed by the sun, will eventually strike the US and could cause the deaths of 90% of our population... yet, government does little to nothing in the way of hardening our electronics 'en masse' and preparing for such an event.

A massive asteroid striking the planet Earth would obviously make an EMP attack look like childs play.

The Daily Mail story also tells us that NASA is currently tracking 1,400+ 'potentially hazardous asteroids' and it has only been 'blind luck that has so far saved humanity from serious impact.

Former astronaut Ed Lu has described the situation that our planet is now facing as "cosmic roulette".

How long before humanity's luck runs out?
