   ASTEROID DEFENSE : DARK MATTER
News Resources Bibliography
Invisible asteroids might endanger Earth -- Mike Martin  -- United Press International  -- March 09, 2001

Robert Foot of the University of Melbourne claims that invisible asteroids and other cosmic bodies made of a new form of matter may pose a threat to Earth. These meteorites are composed of mirror matter -- a form of the invisible dark matter that many say makes up over 95 percent of the universe -- and may have been responsible for such cataclysmic events as the so-called Tunguska blast, which destroyed acres of Siberian forest in 1908.
