Heard this on a radio news broadcast the other day then googled it. It was reported in Pravda and is starting to get some pub.
A russian astronomer has spotted an inbound comet and according to his calculations we are in its projected trajectory. Projected impact date... late October 2006.
I was told by an acquaintance of mine that has a history in NEO research that while many are writing this off as another hoax...it is being looked at pretty seriously by the skywatcher community but lips are tight. Hmmmmm?
Quack material...or truth. You decide.
