One day. My friend and i were talking. he said that there was an asteroid that nearly hit us back in the year 2002. I didn't belive him and he said it was true and he said heard it from somewhere. Okay FIrst of all, it wasn't on the newspaper or news. second an asteroid can't hit us until for like another 100,000 years. and third my friend can very paranoid sometimes and crazy. so i'm asking you guys to respond.

-S

There have been "bullet burn" asteroids in the past. However, keep in mind that we're not talking about a matter of a few feet, here, they're still hundreds of thousands of miles away. Astronomical scale is far different than what you're used to.

Oh wait, nevermind. I thought that you said actually hit the Earth, not a near miss.
