In August, scientists alerted us to the fact that a flying space object was heading directly towards Earth, with a potential impact with the planet on Election Day. To be clear, the asteroid, 2018 VP1, is only 7-feet in diameter and it had a one in 250 chance of actually making it to Earth. The 2018 bolide in Michigan actually registered as an earthquake of sorts, and may have been responsible for a fire in Wayne County. So anyway, it’s Election Day -- where is the asteroid? There’s also no report of a bolide anywhere, so 2018 VP1 is probably just hurtling through space, all alone.
