Hello John and Doves,
News articles are
stating that potentially hazardous asteroids (PHAs)
will surge in 2018. The table below shows the
ones they are following for Aug/Sept/Oct. And
there will probably be 'surprise' flybys during this
time period.
"Any asteroid that comes
within 4.6 million miles of Earth with a diameter
greater than 500 feet is termed “potentially
hazardous," according NASA.

When I think about
PHAs I think of 'wormwood' in The Revelation.
