Asteroid half the size of a giraffe strikes Earth off the coast of Iceland - just two HOURS after it was discovered by astronomers

A small asteroid struck the Earth above Iceland last Friday — just two hours after it was spotted by an astronomer.

The space rock, named 2022 EB5, is believed to have mostly burnt up in our planet's atmosphere, but even if it had impacted the surface it would have done little to no damage because it was just 10ft (3 metres) wide, about half the size of a giraffe.

Some people in Iceland reported hearing a boom or seeing a flash of light around the time 2022 EB5 scooted across the sky at 11 miles per second (18.5 km/s) between Greenland and Norway.

No evidence of any meteorites has yet been found but the International Meteor Organization is looking for witnesses who may have seen anything.

Prior to impact, which took place in the atmosphere north of Iceland at 21:22 GMT (16:22 ET) on Friday, March 11, the space rock became the fifth asteroid to be discovered before hitting Earth.

Events of the Great Tribulation is casting its Shadows Massively on the Earth.

We are seeing Plagues, Earthquakes, Pestilences, Famines, Wars, Deaths, Insane weather Patterns, Hailstones , Volcanoes, Floods, Asteroids,etc.

Ladies and Gentlemen, go and read the HolyBible book of Revelation. These are the events that will rock this world in FULL FORCE once the Bride of Christ is taken away.

Revelation 8:7-8
7 The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.
8 And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood

Folks!Let us Humble ourselves and seek the Face of GOD
Let us Cry to GOD in Repentance and Surrender to JESUS Christ as our Lord and Savior.

What is Coming on this earth is Unbearable, Unbelievable and terrifying!
Run for your Life! Run to JESUS Christ!
HE is the ONLY way of Escape.

I've seen this thing strike Nigeria's airspace like 3 or 4 times while growing up, a lot happens up there, it scatters like a ball of fire within seconds, while growing up I do spend a lot of time looking at the sky at night, I've also seen the death of stars like 5 times or more, if you want to know a star is about to die it will change colour from white, I knew the location of specific stars as a kid and monitored them almost every night even when some of them die I knew and witnessed some, it was fun and is still fun if I have the time... smiley

Now man don grow dey work daily, to go dey look sky no easy again grin

Asteroid Half The Size Of A Giraffe Strikes Earth Off The Coast Of Iceland Share this: One of the largest asteroid to hit the Earth in the last few decades, a space rock half the size of a giraffe has smashed into the coast of Iceland, leaving a trail of ‘spent’ space debris The asteroid, estimated to be roughly 30-35 metres (100-115 feet) wide, was one of the smallest yet detected as it ploughed into Earth’s atmosphere and exploded, creating a spectacular burst of fire visible to the naked eye The crater made by the asteroid was 50 metres (160 feet) wide and left a trail of spent debris in its wake, according to the Icelandic Met Office, which reported that the asteroid’s trail took around 25 hours to reach the ground

E be like say, Lala wan diversify his interest from snakes to asteroids. Just do us a favour and don't trouble us unless it is an asteroid the size of a small town like the one in that Netflix movie titled "Don't Look Up"

Because olodo like you don’t know that asteroid strike almost all the time - Some burn off and evaporate as they enter the earth’s atmosphere while some manage to penetrate.
infact, even your roof contains particles of meteors (micro-meteorites) that burned off while entering the atmosphere.
