War of the Worlds 07 AD (series)

After some work, the US has discovered a NEO (Near Earth Object) approaching. Its speed is difficult to determine. Other nations are verifying the object. Best guess conjectures are that the object will be close to Earth within 3 days. It is relatively small and a wonder that it was found, still its course leads it to strike Earth fairly directly, which would cause a possible global change.

The object is of indeterminate material, appearing oblong, but few other details are available. The US has not announced plans for safety or intercept of object. The Japanese are scrambling to prep a rocket for investigation, but local storms are likely to scrub any misison.
