The video is based on new data from a network of sensors around the globe that is designed to detect nuclear detonations and is operated by the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty Organization. Between 2000 and 2013, these instruments detected 26 explosions on the planet ranging in energy from 1 to 600 kilotons, all caused by asteroid impacts, B612 Foundation officials said. For comparison, the nuclear bomb that flattened Hiroshima in 1945 burst with the energy of 15 kilotons. [Watch the animation of Earth's asteroid impacts] Many of these asteroid collisions go unnoticed because they explode too high up in the atmosphere to cause damage on the ground. What's more, these impacts often occur above remote parts of the ocean..... More here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to see the damage it can cause, google barringer crater. It smacked into the arizona desert when there were people around, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some strange reason, the name changes as it goes from outer space and into Earth's atmosphere. Checking barringer crater.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you can see the crater still quite visible today. And its huge. Their website gives a description of what happened when it hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen one while driving at night about 2 and 1/2 feet in diameter. It was round looking and had fire tail about 10 to 15 feet long it crashed in the woods. while on a merchant marine ship I spent a lot of time in the middle of the ocean and Ive seen many stars setting still and then fall and burn out. Back to the small one i saw; if it is 2 1/2 feet diameter and on fire and hits a building with its speed there will be quiet a bit of damage.
