According to express.co.uk, citing the NASA website, an asteroid called 2018 AJ is approaching Earth and was first discovered only on January 5, 2018.
2018 AJ is traveling at 12,300 miles per hour and is a rock 22 - 68 meters in diameter, that is, an asteroid the size of an apartment building. A collision of such an object with the Earth will cause an explosion comparable in power to a thermonuclear one and destroy any city that gets hit.
The passage of the object near the Earth is expected on January 23. Probably 2018 AJ will pass from the planet at a distance exceeding the distance from the Earth to the Moon by 4.6 times.
As dailymail.co.uk reports with reference to the NASA website, at the same time as 2018 AJ, another asteroid is approaching the Earth, which was named 2002 AJ129. Its speed is 67,000 miles per hour, and its size is about 1.1 kilometers. It is larger than Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world:
If AJ129 crashes into Earth, it will trigger an Ice Age on the planet. According to NASA, the asteroid will pass by the Earth at a distance of 4,208,641 km. This will happen on February 4th.
Meanwhile, the US forums continue to discuss a strange object that fell on Michigan on January 17:
