Research presented at the Lunar and Planetary Science Conference challenges the extraterrestrial origin theory of a burst of sound waves detected in 2014, initially attributed to a meteor. Instead, the signals are believed to have been caused by a passing truck, as indicated by their directional changes aligning with nearby roadways.

oh look there's a green row (Torino scale 1) on the Earth Impact Monitoring Page!

Object 2023 TL4, about 320m in diameter, has an estimated 0.0039% chance (about 1 in 25,600) of hitting the Earth between 2119 and 2121, with an energy of 7300MT of TNT. (The largest Hydrogen bomb ever detonated had an energy of 50MT, Krakatoa was estimated to be 200MT)
