Are space scientists really stupid? Asteroid passes very near Earth. Large Meteor hits Russia. Other meteors/meteorites reported in CA and Cuba. No connection, it's just a coincidence, say asstronomers.

Large bodies have greater gravitational pull on smaller bodies, or both may have related trajectories resulting from a collision. This is a very real possibility, yet a number of these astrologers have decided to deny this possibility in favor of coincidence - without any evidence.

It needs to be stated: Yes, it is possible that these events are related.
