Italian scientists Ernesto Guido and Giovanni Sostero told RIA Novosti that it had an orbital period of almost exactly one year and might be a spent rocket booster.What was that Mystery object whizzes past Earth, The Times of India, January 14, 2010 However, it was determined that it is a near-Earth asteroid.Small Asteroid 2010 AL30 Will Fly Past The Earth. NASA/JPL Near-Earth Object Program, January 12, 2010. On January 13, 2010 at 1246 UT it passed Earth at 0.0008624 AU km mi on on, about 1/3 of the distance from the Earth to the Moon (or 0.33 LD).
Based an estimated diameter of 10 - 15 m ft on, if 2010 AL 30 had entered the Earth's atmosphere, it would have created a meteor air burst equivalent to between 50 kT and 100 kT (kilotons of TNT). The Nagasaki "Fat Man" atom bomb had a yield between 13–18 kT.Near-Earth Object 2010 AL30. NASA Earth Science Picture of the Day March 06, 2010.
It has an uncertainty parameter of 3 and has been observed by radar. Radar observations show the asteroid is elongated and is about 30 meters in diameter. It may be a contact binary.
