Asteroid-Meteor 2024 YR 4

Among other things, this has the potential to be a re-run of the 2000 Y2K computer malfunction hubbub. Will it or won't it hit earth.
At this point you shouldn't make any specific plans for Dec.22, 2032. It is definitely not a UFO/UAP. Currently, the chances of a direct hit are estimated at between 1-2%. The chances of drawing 3 of a kind in poker are about 2.9%.

Feeling lucky? Astronomers say that a newly identified space rock, potentially as big as a football field, has a better than 1% chance of crashing into Earth on Dec. 22, 2032.

Those odds may seem pretty good (assuming you're hoping for a miss), but consider this: The International Warning Asteroid Network (IAWN), a global collaboration started in 2013 to monitor and track space objects that could impact Earth issued its first-ever Potential Asteroid Impact Notification for the asteroid, known as 2024 YR4, IAWN Manager Tim Spahr says.

The notification is meant to put the astronomical community on alert to collect as much information as possible on the near-Earth object (NEO) in question.

Don't you just love these acronyms? Potential Asteroid Impact Notification = PAIN
and International Asteroid Warning Network (IAWN) sounds like YAWN.

Yes, I'm aware you hope that if it hits, it lands directly on my house.
