James Kaufman reports on the discovery of 2026 UA1, a near-Earth object (NEO) identified via AI software. The space rock, approximately 40 feet in diameter, is traveling at 9.5 km/s and is expected to pass between Earth and the Moon on October 23rd at approximately 17:35 UTC, maintaining a distance of about 100,000 miles from Earth.
James Kaufman, World News Report, today.
Ladies and gentlemen, a new near-Earth object,
or space rock, or meteor, perhaps meteorite,
was discovered, and the data was just released today,
after being discovered yesterday.
This is 2026 UA1.
You can see it's an inner-solar system near-Earth object,
and we will spin around.
It's coming at a bit of an inclination,
about 40 feet in diameter, moving at 9.5 kilometers per second.
And I haven't seen the condition code, so we'll be seeing it together.
But it's going to go right between the moon and Earth, or so they hope.
Why do they always go right between the moon and Earth?
They never hit either one of them,
though we have seen the moon get hit this year.
All right, they just released this information today on October 21st.
As you can see up here, 17 total observations over one day.
First seen on the 20th, coming from below the planet,
the hardest ones to see.
Condition code is 7, so very uncertain.
9 being highly uncertain, 0 being certain.
7 being much closer to 9 than 0 means
that they don't know if it's only 40 feet in diameter
and they don't know its exact trajectory it was seen
by of course automatic right here automatic
or ai software it's moving at 9.5 kilometers
per second it's about 40 feet in diameter take a look
at the close approach data now now what
is very weird is they have a whole page of past
extrapolations from the 17 observations
but as far as any kind of present well they've got one
from 2038 to be nowhere near the planet
so on the 23rd what are we expecting we're expecting
something to come right in between earth and the moon
so about a hundred thousand miles away from
center of earth and that's going to come
at 17 35 UTC time should be about 10 30 in the morning
on the 23rd of october which is just in two days
so it'll also be moving as i told you
at 9.5 kilometers per second
and could be as slow as 9.3 kilometers per second
not the fastest moving a pretty good inclination uh zero
or point zero zero one four is the distance
that puts it out about a hundred thousand miles from earth
which is a close shave considering
well it's passing again between earth and the moon
so it doesn't matter what they're gonna do
to me at youtube i'm going to appeal on saturday
and they'll have 14 days to take a month and a
half of revenues away from me very very unfair they did
this perfectly uh one day before the
money would have been transferred over to pay me
is when they're gonna decide so uh let's just all
pray that somehow God intervenes.
And if not, my channel is not being taken down.
I can always help
by buying me a cup of coffee.
The sooner the better, because I might take this all to court
again. And it did cost me lots of money.
It does cost lots of money to go to court. So in summary,
we have 2026 well 2026 AU1 inbound inner solar
system near earth object looks like it's right
on top of the earth here we'll move it two days forward get us right
on top of each other 2026
AU1 40 to 50 feet in diameter move at 9.5 kilometers per second
and a heavy inclination
from the south pole we'll see what happens uh again it's supposed
to be a hundred thousand
miles away which is just a hop skip
and a jump away from earth as far as our solar system
remember this is a very good depiction
of the inner solar system mars earth venus and mercury
And then moving out, this is to scale, to scale.
For Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune,
you can't even see the inner solar system any longer, right?
The inner solar system only contains Mars, Earth, Mercury, and Venus.
And that's what we have here,
an inner solar system NEO, or near-Earth object.
Only discovered yesterday, only reported today.
you're first to know about it being here
on my channel god bless you guys be safe out there and
realize this might have friends along
for the ride as usual and well the actual actual
frequency of these meteors has increased tenfold over the last month
or two so expect the worst
this will increase another tenfold
for the next few months please make sure to give us a thumbs
up and share buy us a cup of coffee
in the description on the bottom if you can god bless
