This mystery object from space is expected to whiz by Earth at a distance of about 130,000 kilometers tomorrow. Scientists are stumped by the object, which is 33- to 50-feet wide at most. It’s catalogued as 2010AL30, a 10-meter class asteroid. But who knows. It might be our own space junk. Or an alien probe, perhaps. Even a scout ship?
