With reference to Guita Rice media claim that the diameter is approaching the Earth space object with some probability that is around 40 meters, meaning it can be more of a meteorite “Chelyabinsk”. The exact size of the heavenly body not yet detected, and if it turns out that it is still not very large even in case of contact with the earth’s atmosphere with no danger to the inhabitants of the planet he represents.

However, in the same message, which mentions Judith Rice, it is noted that other experts estimate the probability of falling to the Ground of the asteroid as very low.

Meteorite, the diameter of which is estimated at approximately 17 meters, and weighs 10 tons, 15 Feb 2013 entered the Earth’s atmosphere over the Chelyabinsk region exploded at an altitude of 15-25 km. Suffered as a result of 1 613 people,
