Asteroid 2013 TV135 Could Hit Earth In 2032, Says Ukrainan Observatory

4. Actually, the definition of "1" was changed to "Normal, routine discovery"

There have been many, many "1's" and every single one has been removed by monitoring. One has actually reached a "4" and then been reassigned to a "0" or a "1" depending on which orbit guy you talk to.

The complete description is "A routine discovery in which a pass near Earth is predicted that poses no unusual level of danger. Current calculations show the chance of collision is extremely unlikely with no cause for public attention or public concern. New telescopic observations very likely will lead to re-assignment to Level 0."

I can't remember the number of times a Russian observatory has predicted doom. Look back to the press around the Chelyabinsk meteor in the first 24 hours. Kinda Fox News level hysteria.
