UFO Sighting

A relatively small asteroid, 13x26 feet flew close to the Earth and close to satellites. The nearest satellite

was just 750 miles away and the asteroid passed within 26,554 miles of Earth. The discovery of Asteroid

2020 HS7 was just made by NASA's Pan-STARRS project. This is one of the closest flybys by an asteroid ever recorded. The

asteroid actually passed under the nearest satellite and came close to the geostationary orbit ring for

satellites.

Global Coordinated Tracking

On April 26, 2020 NASA's Pan-STARRS telescope in Hawaii spotted what scientists thought was a UFO flying through space.

They found it to be extremely close to the Earth with a 10% chance of colliding with the Earth. Word went out

to observatories around the world from China to Germany about the unidentified flying object. Astronomers tracked

the UFO's position, speed, motion and brightness. Through their coordinated efforts the scientists determined

in a day that the UFO was a new asteroid and that it did not pose a threat to Earth.

Close Call

This new asteroid is one of the 50 closest asteroids flying over Earth ever recorded. The global scientific effort of

collaboration, discovery and rapid response proved to be an important and successful model for

tracking UFO's in space going forward.
