Space Rock 2013 GM3 May Hit Earth On April 14th 2026!

James Kaufman, World News Report today. Ladies and gentlemen, we have a large space rock in play on April 14th. I didn't mention this a few weeks ago, but since we're three days out, I figured I would give you an update on this large space rock. This is a near-Earth object, 2013 GM3. Now, that means it was first spotted in 2013. and they've done very little work on it since, which is amazing considering it's a large rock between 60 and 80 feet in diameter and it's going to fly right between Earth and the moon. Hopefully, right? Take a look at 2013 GM3 here. All right, as we move into our inner solar system, that includes Mars, Venus, Mercury, and Earth. We see that it's pretty much on the plane of our solar system. So there's no inclination of this rock. This is a good thing. The rock is large. Well, it's not huge, but it is large, between 60 and 80 feet in diameter. And it's looking for a very, very close approach on April 14th. Now, they have a big window of time there. I've never seen them have such a big window of time, i.e. the plus or minus, and it's pretty much, well, I don't understand it, except for the fact that they haven't done any additional work on this rock for whatever reason. Very strange. I'm going to move it up a couple of days to the 14th. You can see it joining Earth down here, and this is going to be the 13th, and for whatever reason, it will not go to the 14th. Set the day of impact and see how close it is the day before the closed shave. Again, 2013 GM3 moving, well, only about 7.4 kilometers per second, but a very large rock. Obviously, if it comes to our atmosphere, it's going to, well, become a meteorite. meteors burn up in our atmosphere or fly by where meteorites make it to the ground of course that's the only difference of the two let's get some detailed information about this what a big rock not to worry about and not update the information on all right the solution date is way back in April of 2021, so five years ago, and they haven't looked at the rock since then. You can see it was first observed in 2013. It was only observed for, well, it looks like about 12 days, 61 total observations. That arc spanned 12 days. The condition code is a 7, which is very, well, it's a high condition code which means they're very uncertain about the size and the trajectory and where this is headed zero means they know exactly where it's headed and how big it is nine means they're highly uncertain and seven is much closer to nine obviously than zero this was first seen by our automatic AI software without it i don't think any of them would ever be seen and well we'll get some actual close approach data now all right all this was extrapolated from the 2013 viewings over that 12 day data arc span they haven't gone back to look at this large rock that will be flying between earth and the moon which to me is more than a little bit strange They actually have over four pages of data extracted here, and we did find our close approach. April 14, 2026, it will be flying closest to Earth first, and then go even closer to the moon. So here we have Earth, and it gives us 1615 UTC time, which would be at 1115 Central Time in the morning on the 14th. But then, and I've never seen this before, they have plus or minus seven minutes. We also see plus or minus over an hour on some of these close approaches to Venus and Earth and other planetary objects here. These are usually seconds, but they have seven minutes and 56 seconds, give or take, plus or minus. And we're looking for something at around 1115 on April 14th, close approach to Earth. And the minimum distance here is .0005, and those are astronomical units. You can see the minimum distance as far as its close pass to the moon is exactly twice that much. let's find out how many miles that is because it's not very many whatsoever and i hate the fact that we have a condition code of seven and such a close shave i wonder if they've already figured this one's gonna hit us or what i wanted to show you how close this could be here guys Point 00005 turns out to be only 4,647 miles. Astronomically, it's two miles. But that's from the center of Earth. And I looked at our radius of Earth, and y'all aren't going to like this at all. Earth's radius, where this is really measured from, is 3,963.1676 miles. And let me just tell you, the difference of those two is extremely small. I'm talking about 600 miles. This could be one of the closest shaves we've seen if this doesn't actually hit the atmosphere. 600 miles, I'm telling you what, that is super duper close. I guess this is the closest one I've ever seen. Using our minimal distances here, it's a total of 694 miles from the surface of our planet. Now, that is probably going to be ending up going into our atmosphere and probably hitting the ground here. This is not great news. And then it's going to make a close approach to the moon. And it looks like that's going to be just after that If it happens to fly by Earth about 4 hours later So that's going to be about 3.06 central time Plus or minus 9 minutes and 16 seconds And that one's only going to be 9,000 miles away from the moon So that is really, really strange We're using our minimal distances here That's exactly what you get 694 miles from the surface of our planet we're talking about a large rock all right this is not a country killer it could be a city killer the rock the size of this one actually blew up in the sky over Russia a few years back and caused thousands of hospitalizations and broken windows in every building etc and i believe this is about the exact same size that one didn't well i think when that one did make it to the ground i think that this one would make it to the ground as well and be as large as it is 2013 GM3 condition code 7 moving at 7.4 kilometers per second between 60 and 80 feet although they don't seem to care or know or maybe they do know and they're not updating information very strange how they wouldn't have With a close call like that, take a few more looks at this rock 2013 GM3. But we can see that they have it, according to JPL's information here. Well, folks, that is, again, about 11.15 in the morning on the 14th, about 72 hours. And I guess we will look out and see what happens around that time. And most of the time, these rocks have friends with them. I would expect to see, well, something hit our atmosphere since it's just so close of a call. God bless, guys. Please share and subscribe. Always remember, anything's possible in Bizarro World, including, well, let's turn on it, by this meteor, which very well might turn into a meteorite.
