Typo
editIn the first section, uneditable, there is a word "in" that should be "it". 24.244.216.250 (talk) 15:06, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

4 or 6? cites ?
edit4 events are cited, yet 6 are listed.
- Now, all nine events have sources. - Rod57 (talk) 11:41, 17 October 2020 (UTC)
Missing discussions
editThe article could use some additional discussion:
- Such events would have been very common in a young planetary system, less so over time as orbits were swept.
- Earth-grazer's less-violent collisions would be more compatible with the panspermia model than would surface-impacting meteorites or surface ejections. They also support both inward and outward transfer of biota.
This will take some reference chasing. I'd suggest starting with Charles S. Cockell. LeadSongDog come howl! 17:44, 13 October 2016 (UTC)
How much velocity did they lose
editDo the reports say how much velocity the various objects lost during the earth encounter ? (two say what their new orbit is) - Rod57 (talk) 11:00, 17 October 2020 (UTC)
