Asteroid near-miss reported by Russian scientists rt.today.com

A 15-meter asteroid, similar to the object that exploded above Russia in February, moving at a speed of 16km per second, was detected hours before it narrowly missed Earth over the weekend, according to Russian scientists.

"[The asteroid] was discovered on Friday night by our station near Lake Baikal and nine hours later it flew within 11,300km of the Earth’s surface, below the orbit of geostationary satellites. It was about 15 meters in size,” Vladimir Lipunov of the Moscow State University and the Sternberg Astronomical Institute indicated. ...

Tunguska event
The Tunguska event was an enormously powerful explosion that occurred near the Podkamennaya Tunguska River in what is now Krasnoyarsk Krai, Russia, at about 07:14 KRAT (00:14 UT) on June 30 [O.S. June 17], 1908.[1][2][3] The explosion, having the epicentre (60.886°N, 101.894°E), is believed to have been caused by the air burst of a large meteoroid or comet fragment at an altitude of 5–10 kilometres (3–6 mi) above the Earth's surface. Different studies have yielded widely varying estimates of the object's size, on the order of 100 metres (330 ft).[4] It is the largest impact event on or near Earth in recorded history.[5] ... more - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tunguska_event

Russian Beaver May Aid in the Chebarkul "Chelyabinsk" Meteorite Hunt
CAUTION - Stay Clear While They Are Working! They DO NOT like being filmed!
Beaver Attacks Man in Russia (Do Not Mess With This Beaver)
На меня напал бобер :http://vk.com/club37858017 Приезжайте к нам отдыхать бобров на всех хватит.

You may have read about the highly successful MeteoRats being trained and deployed to hunt for meteorites; but the Russians have found a new secret weapon for the Chebarkul "Chelyabinsk" meteorite hunt in Siberia that will continue this spring. Beaver are especially keen in swamp and marshland, whereas rats tend to shy away from these areas; also they are excellent at felling trees which saves time for getting firewood and making trails through the woods. They are excellent swimmers and divers and can easily search lake bottoms for meteorites. The beaver's downside is that they easily get distracted and tend to dam things up.

Perhaps Canada, USA, and some other countries will work also at perfecting this meteorite hunter resource for meteorite recovery.

It has been speculated that experiments are being conducted in Arizona, USA on an on-going meteorite hunt near Casa Grande; at least four bodies have been found.

Previously the US deployed dogs, Hopper and Brix; but their success in meteorite recovery was very limited at best. Canada continues to use the MeteoRats; but soon may start using the MeteorBeaver since they are plentiful and it is the proud national symbol of Canada.
