One Space Rock Just Flew By Earth & Another OTW Very Soon November 11th 2026!

James Kaufman, World News Report Today. Ladies and gentlemen, NASA's JPL, Jet Propulsion Laboratory, has just announced two rocks, one that flew by at 6.48 this morning between the Earth and Moon, and one that's going to be much closer to Earth than the Moon that's going to fly by tomorrow on the 12th. That's right, they missed one. Until after it flew by and reported it, and that's going to be 2026 VS-8, is that correct? VS-8. And we'll take a look at that rock real quick, although again, it's already flown by, and that's after the flyby, 648 this morning, and you can see that this was the close approach right here. And, well, they have announced a second rock that will be flying by tomorrow, and I think they will spend more time on that rock, since there's still a possibility that it might impact Earth. This, again, was 2026 VS-8. It flew by at 648 this morning. Today, on the 11th. It was missed until it flew by. It was about 25 feet in diameter, so not a huge space rock. No inclination really whatsoever. And it flew again between Earth and the moon. Now to 2026 VC11. This rock was just announced, as you will see. And it's supposed to come much closer to Earth than the moon. It's supposed to come in tomorrow on the 12th, and we'll look for time in just a moment. You can see that there is an inclination. It's coming from above the plane of Earth, and we'll move it into space or place for tomorrow. And as you can see, they really become one and the same by tomorrow. And again, this one has an inclination. We're going to find out exactly how big it is. It looks like it's about 30 to 35 feet in diameter. Find out how fast it's moving, etc. All right, look at this information here. They first saw it today, and they first reported it today. They've had 18 observations. Wow, folks, they reported it at 9.42 UTC time, and they only had, well, less than 9 hours and 42 minutes to observe it. We've got 18 observations today alone. Condition code is 7, which is much closer to 9, highly uncertain, and 0 being certain. They don't know how big it is or where it's headed, basically. This is just amazing. Saw it today, last observed, first observed, reported it today. Of course, it was only seen by our AI automatic software. Humans tend to never see these things, it seems like. Let's get some close approach data and speed on this space rock. Obviously, no time to extrapolate any information but the close approach to the moon and Earth because they had less than nine hours and 42 minutes. And it looks like it'll actually be approaching tonight instead of the 12th because this is UTC time. Looks like it'll come in at about 849, 849 central time here in the U.S. Again, it's much closer to Earth than the moon, .0007 astronomical units. Now, I'm not saying it's going to hit Earth. It's just much closer to Earth than the moon. It is moving at about 9.7 kilometers per second. It's like it does swing through Earth and pick up some speed there before it passes the moon. And again, the rock is about 30 to 40 feet in diameter, although it does have a condition code of 7, so they don't know exactly where it's headed. And they sure, well, they only saw it today. Definitely a near-Earth object, but it also travels outside, well, almost to Jupiter. This is what they have extrapolated with. The 18 observations they've made today, again, 2026 VC11, between 30 and 40 feet in diameter, coming in just under 10 kilometers per second and from a higher inclination, and it's going to make its close approach really on the 11th night at about 8:49, Central time, although they're calling it out as 1:49 because they're using UTC time. I want everyone to know one of those Tyrad meteors that you're looking up at, well, it could be a very large space rock. That said, God bless. This is the first of two nights of the Taurid Peak, and there's supposed to be larger, fabulous meteors or meteorites if they make it to the ground. Again, 2026 VC11, only seen today and released today to the public. Please make sure to give us a thumbs up, share, and God bless you all.
