Alien mothership please take me please i dont wana pay bills anymore
We seen the second moon on Sunday we thought it was Venus, we even took pictures
You woke me up for this?
Classic example of clickbaiting. It is not a MOON in any sense of the word. The earth temporary catches asteroids every single year. The asteroid itself is only 30 feet across.
In order to be a "moon", the object has to be of a certain size, and must be permanently caught in a planet's gravitational pull, which this one has not.
There isn't a single astronomer calling this rock a "moon". Only the media is calling it that for headlines, and it's kind of pathetic.
This is literally making a big deal out of a miniscule event. In space, this happens quite often. The moon has it's own gravitational pull, so small astraroids, like the one mentioned, get captured in it's orbit from time to time, then slingshotted back out to space, normally. This is how our moon acts as a natural home defence for Earth. This happens often and it's not a news worth event. This bus size asteroid is certaianly no "moon", we are in no immenant danger, and we cannot even see it with a home telescope. This is not news. This is a waste of time, effort, and resources.
That's not a second moon it's a ship belonging to the beings that created the cities in saturn they were also the ones that sent omuamua ship but deep state said it was a moon or meteor.
Why even talk about this if it can’t even be seen by a telescope
Crazy how there is zero real pictures of this thing.
Small
Not a moon. An asteroid
Could they be downplaying a potential asteroid impact as a “mini moon”? Something is going on and imo I think they’re trying to figure out how to cancel this year’s election cycle.
Its called an astetoid not moon. NBC. You cant see it so why are we making big deal.
Distraction
Yeay sure we went to the moon lol 👍 ok
I wish I could post the photos. It's massive !!!! It literally hangs like a star
Our God ears and eyes is are waiting an watching to hear the repentance of his people. The end of time is near .. for all who repent of there sin will be saved and changed for the End of Time is near so repent be in a Holy Communion United with your brothers and sisters and be the witness the witnesses the POWER OF CHRIST AND HIS UNITED KINGDOM.
asteroid: oh yea i'm gonna just go to the next pizza planet over ther-
earth: mmmmmmmm… YOINK
And people think it’s the end of the work 🤦♂️🤦♂️
There has not been no moon
we got second moon before GTA 6?
BOOOOOOO!
It’s face though. 0:46
I haven’t seen the moon once since this started. What’s really going on out there?
Minecraft story mode predicted this
Soooo an asteroid?
The 5th Seal is open.
Soon…
Celestial my soul is prolonging that is mine
Paolo Canyon
SHENANIGANS 😡
We should capture it and put a bunch of bacteria and fungi on it. And throw it at mars
If the 30ft diameter second moon is magnetic, i believe it's going to get bigger if it collects many more tiny magnetic debris from space. These 30ft Asteroid might have the potential to be 300,000 bigger than our moon!
A second moon before gta6 ? Crazy
This is a very special and spiritual moon
Fake
😢🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 1:37
Yea it’s just a “rock”…
Sounds like another fly by, not a moon. Gaslighting at its finest. Might as well start calling satellites moons. At least we can see them without telescopes.
HzaecZzy tcczXyjE fidao the rduzzzzzier dsxgzb☄️🚍
Yeah right how they know how long it's gonna be there who said that they lying
Alien parking there and they’re giving us a heads up so we don’t think much of it.
Meet Star Wormwood
The Stupidity continues bs news apparently this has happened 5 times ?why is this the first time we are hearing about it lol mini moon looks nout like ah moon because its ah bloody astroid!!..😆
Great cgi 😂
Mini moon got here and was like show me what you GOT?
that asteroid is using Earth gravity to slingshot itself to a different direction
