Space Rock 2026 FM3 To Make Close Approach Tomorrow March 24th 2026!

James Kaufman will report today. Ladies and gentlemen, JPL, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, has just announced that we have a near-Earth object that's going to make a very close pass to Earth, the line between Earth and our Moon. It's named 2026 FM3. 2026 FM3, it was just spotted somehow bring it into the inner solar system which includes Mars, Venus, Mercury and Earth and the white line is going to be our space rock and this is the close approach to Earth right here now this is supposed to happen I believe on the 25th we have to get the actual time here in just a moment to make sure it doesn't end up on the 24th or the 26th because of it being UTC time. But this is supposed to happen on the 25th, and this rock's showing very little inclination whatsoever, almost on our solar plane, which we all know doesn't exist. The sun is out in front pulling the rest of the planets behind it. However, it's going to be close enough that there shouldn't be a problem now the rock itself is only about five meters about 20 feet in diameter now after the three foot rock did all the damage just yesterday before in Houston i thought i better cover this one it's going to be coming closer to earth and it's going to be coming to the moon so it's going to fly about 85,000 miles away from earth but usually these rocks have companions and on every single day we've been hit there's been another rock that they have located that has flown by safely so this is a near-earth object, a meteor, a space rock 2026 FM3 inbound for the 25th, we'll get some additional information right now, all right, solution date March 23rd, you know I'm bringing you guys the information as soon as I get it, total observations 31 observations over only a two-day period, first spotted on the 21st and of course they gave us the solution i.e. today, now the condition code is well, fairly decent, zero meaning they know exactly how fast it's going and how big it is, and nine meaning they have no idea, five is right in between the two, one of the lower condition codes I've seen, especially since I've only been able to observe the rock for two days, 31 times, the rock is moving slow, about 5.5 kilometers per second it is considered slow in the thick of things if you will, the rock again is about 20 feet in diameter, it will be passing between Earth and the moon without hitting either, with any luck It was found by our automatic or AI software because we know humans, well, are just about worthless these days. So that's what we have. Let's get some close approach data here. So it's going to be about 80,000 miles from Earth. Off those very few 31 observations we extracted pages and pages of past and future flybys and we're here on March 25th uh earth fly by here 0.001 astronomical units it's going to be about 85,000 miles out uh which is well about almost half the way to the moon but not quite closer to earth than the moon and let's get a time of the day we can hear it's going to to be 2:07 UTC time on the 25th. So we're going to have to move this to the 24th tomorrow night. This is going to be 9:07 central time on the 24th. 9:07 central time on the 24th will make its close approach to the moon about three hours after that. And you can see it's moving only at about 5.5 to 6.5 kilometers per second here relative speed in kilometers per second so a fairly slow moving space rock no inclination not huge but sizable i couldn't imagine that that three foot rock weighed one ton so trying to keep our eyes on all these rocks it appears so that's what we have a close flyby tomorrow on the 24th at about 9:07 p.m central time here we'll take one last look at that again our near-earth object space rock meteor and perhaps meteorite if it does make landfall 2026 FM3 coming by on the 24th central time at about 9:07 tomorrow evening i want to make y'all aware that that was occurring through all the rocks that have dropped in to say hi recently now with that said eyes to the skies folks there's a lot more rocks falling than the ones at JPL are catching period please make sure to share our video please subscribe if you haven't and always remember that anything's possible bizarro world God bless
