Well, none that we know of... But back in December an asteroid that had not been previously identified suddenly showed up a mere couple of days before it crossed the earth's orbital path.

It was some 150 meters across and allegedly could have been equivalent to a couple of dozen megaton h-bombs in destructive force.

So we really don't know... because they only allocate about $4 million per year for the purpose of finding and tracking the orbits of asteroids.

Regards,

Ron
