HALLOWEEN 15: I AIN’T AFRAID OF NO ASTEROIDS

Who is afraid of a potentially life ending asteroid on Halloween!?
Not us earthlings!

Costumes will still be donned.. makeup still applied. Scantily clad outfits at Saturday night Halloween parties still being stuck on..

Even though this was just discovered: An enormous asteroid will whiz past earth..

CREDIT: The IFL SCIENCE website:

2009 FD will approach within 6,194,000 km of Earth, about 16.3 times further away than the Moon. The asteroid was discovered in February 2009, a month before its closest recorded approach to Earth on March 27, 2009, at a distance of 624,100 km. 2015 TB145 will pass about 500,000 km from Earth, just beyond the lunar orbit.

2009 FD has been tracked by several instruments since its discovery. It was first estimated to be 130 meters in size by NASA’s Near Earth Program. A better estimate for its size came from NASA’s NEOWISE, which gave a value of 470 meters, although this is considered anupper limit.

2015 TB145 was discovered just over a week ago by the Pan-STARRS I telescope in Hawaii, and it has an estimated size of 320 meters. The passing of 2015 TB145 will be the closest approach by something this large until asteroid August 2027, when 1999 AN10 will pass within one lunar distance (380,000 km). NASA has given these objects a value of 1 on the Torino Scale, which is the value assigned to non-dangerous asteroids.

Business as usual.
Gather ye candies while ye may..

Just to give you a bit more of a scare than the ghosts and goblins who will be at your door, CNN pointing out this factoid that may bring chills to you:

It’s a good thing it will miss, though. The asteroid is estimated to be 300 to 600 meters wide and traveling at 78,000 mph. By comparison, the meteorite that exploded in the sky over Chelyabinsk, Russia, in 2013 was about 20 meters wide.

NASA Gives 99-Percent Probability Of 5.0 Earthquake In LA

CBS reports:

“JPL experts predict a possible 5.0 magnitude quake in Los Angeles, but say it very well could be stronger. JPL geophysicist Dr. Andrea Donnellan, along with seven other scientists, has been using radar and GPS to measure Southern California’s chances for a sizable earthquake, and has made a sobering hypothesis about another big one.

This Creepy Puzzle Arrived In Our Mail – Gadgetzz

This Creepy Puzzle Arrived In Our Mail – Gadgetzz

This linked article is sort of where all of this online insanity started concerning the creepy video making the rounds online THE RING style.. It’s a good write up.
I believe that there is an intention behind the video..
But in these days room also must be left for pure genius marketing–something else this certainly could also be..

The viral video that is suddenly scaring the nation

This is an image from a video that is scaring a lot of people this Halloween..

SLATE reports that is a ‘nightmareish’ puzzle that has taken the Internet by storm.. Last night the DRUDGE REPORT linked up a British fishwrapper that said the video contained ‘threats’ to the President of the United States..

Lily Newman in SLATE had the backstory:

Last week, Johny from GadgetZZ.composted a writeup about a mysterious CD-ROM the site had received in the mail about three months before. The letter came from Poland to the site’s Swedish P.O. box, and at first it didn’t seem very interesting. The disc just had some numbers and letters written on one side that looked like a serial number.

When Johny looked at the contents of the disc, though, he discovered a strange video. In it, a creepy-beyond-creepy figure stands in a seemingly deserted building, at first in shadow and then plainly in a camera’s view. Staticky noise plays in the background and extremely subtle visual effects occasionally cross the screen as the figure gestures and holds up a blinking light. After you see it you know how the characters in The Ring felt when they watched the VHS tape that would mark them for death.

The internet has had it for months, though.. it has been circulating. And even more, REDDIT threads have been created well in advance to the latest series of news articles detailing the scary images that are tending to fright people in big numbers across the WEB as they see the video – spreading like the RING is surely a good comparison.

New Films To Shed Light On Japan’s Infamous ‘Suicide Forest’

New Films To Shed Light On Japan’s Infamous ‘Suicide Forest’

Ben Arnold writes:

It is beautiful, dense and tangled – it’s sometimes called the ‘sea of trees’ – and boasts ice caverns hidden in its volcanic rock.

But it has become known for a much more dark and tragic reason – it’s also been called ‘the suicide forest’, a place where up to 1988, around 100 suicides would occur each year.

A new movie, starring ‘Game of Thrones’ Natalie Dormer, has now been unveiled called ‘The Forest’, a horror thriller which finds Dormer searching for her twin sister who has gone missing in Aokigahara.
