Asteroid 2018 BN6 flew past Earth at 0.94 LD, 7th within 1 LD in 9 days
A newly discovered asteroid designated 2018 BN6 flew past Earth at a distance of 0.94 LD / 0.00242 AU (~362 026 km / 224 953 miles) on January 24, 2018. Its closest approach to Earth took place 3 days before it was discovered.
This asteroid belongs to the Apollo group of asteroids and has an estimated diameter of 12 – 27 m (39 – 88 feet). It was first observed at Mt. Lemmon Survey on January 27, 2018.
2018 BN6 flew past Earth at a speed of 10.34 km/s (relative to the Earth) at 09:30 UTC on January 24.
This is the 7th known asteroid to flyby Earth within 1 lunar distance since January 15 and the 8th since the start of the year. 54 known asteroids flew past us within 1 lunar distance in 2017.

Then a mighty angel picked up a boulder the size of a large millstone and threw it into the sea, and said: “With such violence the great city of Babylon will be thrown down, never to be found again.” ~ Revelations 18:21
If there is a gravitational disturbance in the solar system, it would manifest itself first in the orbital paths of small rocks (asteroids and comets). I know this is stating the obvious, the thought behind these posts on The Watchers. My reason for stating the obvious is that, if this is the beginning of something bigger, it is further proof that there is no Planet Nine (or any of the other names given to the belief that there is another large planet in the solar system). As NASA repeatedly states, were such a planet responsible for these asteroid flybys and the increase in meteorites, it would be visible by now. It is not.
The calTech team is remiss in not recognizing the work of the Sirius Research Group at the Binary Research Center. It is documented by the latter that what the CalTech team is seeing is the gravitational influence of the Sirius star system. The Electric Universe team has made it clear that gravity is nearly instantaneous over vast distances, including the eight light years that separate our solar system from the Sirius star system, which is a gravitational behemoth. We know the Sirius star system is approaching our solar system because the misnamed “precession of the equinoxes” is speeding up. In short, especially when combined with smaller rocks (meteorites) entering Earth’s atmosphere (“fire balls”) on a nearly daily basis now, that what we are witnessing here is the start of something truly apocalyptic in nature. It is possible that the Sirius star system has passed some magical line after which it’s gravitational influence extends to our solar system. Again, this would be evident in the orbital paths of small rocks first, but cold eventual extend to the larger rocks, such as our planet. That is to say, what we are witnessing now may culminate in an axial tilt. I maintain that this is what the ancients are screaming at us, from the interior design of the Great Pyramid to the thoroughly discredited, so-called “Mayan” calendar.
We live on a defective planet. It is too close to the gravitational behemoth Sirius. The inhabitants of our planet have no memory of the past because it is routinely destroyed. We ignore the warnings of our predecessors at great peril. Daniel, Christ Jesus, Virgil, all of the “ancients” are saying the same thing. Some great catastrophe is about to happen.
