An asteroid heading towards Earth changed its trajectory in a strange way as if someone had intervened in the situation
Asteroid 2022 AE1 was discovered on January 6, and a day later the automated asteroid Orbit Determination System (AstOD) recognized it as potentially dangerous.
This system automatically calculates orbits based on asteroid observations provided by telescopes and observatories around the world. The asteroid was moving so fast that humanity didn't have enough time to try to hit it and change its trajectory. The European Space Agency (ESA) said that, unfortunately, the probability of a collision is increasing.
During several busy January days this year, astronomers tracked a near-Earth object heading towards Earth. Its trajectory indicated that it would collide with the planet in 2023, but it strangely changed course. The asteroid was on its way to Earth, and astronomers had already predicted huge damage from its collision on July 4, 2023.
According to the European Space Agency (ESA), the asteroid was moving very fast. After seven days of observations, the probability of a collision with the Earth increased. The first observations were followed by a dramatic week when the Moon covered a dangerous object, and no one knows what happened to it.
Asteroid 2022 AE1 observed with the Calar Alto Schmidt telescope in Spain
When the Moon opened its view, the telescope showed that the probability of a collision had decreased dramatically. After that, it was confirmed that 2022 AE1 would not collide with Earth, and it was removed from the ESA list of dangerous objects. According to astronomers, asteroid 2022 AE1 will pass from Earth at a distance of about ten million kilometers, which is almost 20 times the distance to the Moon.
However, the fact of such a sharp change in the trajectory of the asteroid remains strange. What or who influenced him remains a mystery. Or maybe not all asteroids are? Have you seen them yourself with your telescope? The picture is very different from what you see in the movies

Unidentified flying objects appear on Earth and in space more and more often, therefore they are of great interest both for researchers of the UFO phenomenon and for traditional scientists who do not like to rush to conclusions.
