Typo: IraN fires a Shahab-3 missile, not IraQ.

i believe the asteroid that the Russian report is referring to is called Apophos, and it has already been reported about here in the US. It has already made a close approach with Earth, and the only way it will affect Earth is if it interacts with another heavy body in the next pass. Google Apophos.

sorry…Apophis, not Apophos. here is the official data from NASA/JPL on it, and impact data.

The story about so-called Nazi symbol is a bad joke.
One or more vehicles in the Afrikakorps/Afrikaarmee were painted with a simlar-looking symbol.
That’s all. The German journalists are pretty mad these days, it’s Bundeswehr hunting season for lack or real stories.
