Are You Missing a Truck?

As reported in the Chicago Tribune:
An asteroid with the estimated girth of a 26-foot box truck sailed within 7,500 miles of Earth on Monday, June 27th as it passed harmlessly over the Atlantic Ocean, according to NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
The space rock followed the path that scientists had predicted, looping around the planet in a boomerang-shaped trajectory, NASA spokesman D.C. Agle said. Its nearest approach to Earth was 30 times farther away than the International Space Station.
We were wondering how this could have happened.
- Did the driver’s GPS give him a faulty pickup location?
- Was he on a clandestine rendezvous with a highly exotic girlfriend?
- Was the truck propelled into space by a hyperactive lift gate?
If this is your truck, please let us know. We can contact NASA on your behalf.
