Meteor Explosion over Russia

"The meteor explosion over Russia that injured more than 500 people and damaged hundreds of buildings was not caused by an asteroid zooming close by the Earth today (Feb.15), a NASA scientist says.

NASA asteroid expert Don Yeomans, head of the agency's Near-Earth Object Program Office, told SPACE.com that the object which exploded over a thinly inhabited stretch of eastern Europe today was most likely an exploding fireball known as a bolide."

The governments of Earth need to seriously take the threats of a meteor or an asteroid doing severe damage to our planet.  Unfortunately, they are more concerned with their own little fiefdoms instead of the people they are supposed to protect.
