An object of any size would be pulled, not just objects "that big." Also, what if the asteroid is pulled by the sun INTO the trajectory required to strike Earth? Earth isn't doing any dramatic sucking of objects that far out, but then again, neither is the sun. When you consider that the video showed the asteroid enter our atmosphere and then strike earth in about 2 seconds, you realize that the asteroid is moving at some 100 miles a second. Pretty slow in cosmic terms, but still pretty damn fast. Still, you can imagine how little a star so far away would affect the trajectory of an asteroid that's already probably got us in its crosshairs.
Heard of 99942 Apophis? It was once shown it had a 2.7% chance of striking Earth, but that figure has been dropped to something like 1/40,000. Still, it's not impossible.
A quick search on Wikipedia shows that there are 13 asteroids within .01 AU (Astronomical Unit, for the morans in here) of Earth's orbit.
And how the ---- do you figure we are more likely to be sucked into the sun? Sure, our orbit is decreasing slightly year by year, but the sun will turn into a red giant before that happens, but we'll still be outside its boundaries and we'll be long dead anyway.

an object that big would not collide with the earth... heres another comparison.. we have a better chance of colliding with out moon

Re: video: astroid hitting Earth
besides JD. no alien involvement in this one. although i don't think they'll be a meteor to hit the earth.
2012.. is just the end of age and the galactic alignment. not the end of the world.. i personally believe the esoteric principal the rise of consciousness in mankind.
although i do think the poles will shift..and 93% of the worlds population dies off. including myself and all you *******.
and the only living people on the earth will probably be the Illuminati that is hidden under Denver international airport. they will probably be the only surviving 5th type human race on the planet. and the 6th human race will rise from then on afterward and we the dead folk will reincarnate into the new race. since it is, our race. (The Lumans)
thats my best guess whats going to happen. but time has folded and changed everywhere since 1998. even the aliens don't know since the creation 12 density shift has stop all tangable knowledge of the future past 2012.
but don't listen to me.. you all probably think i wear foil on my head and ask for tom cruise to save me...

if you have a belief system where in the end, human race is going to go extinct and you totally accept this idea. that mentality is insane. not the fact that you believe a incorrectly translated book.
but to accept failure when when it's completely preventable. is utterly crazy.
I'm sorry but i want MANKIND to reign and to be Glorious. i want us to travel the stars. I want us to be technologically even more advance. I want more people to be fair and just. i want more people to have this experience and i want to create those opportunities for them. I do not want human experience to end at this planet.
if you think im nuts for believing in that.. then so be it...
