What was said
"Mark Boslow, the man who helped take down the Sodom paper, led a new study on the Torridge Stream. The same stream from Kofels. His team's finding: the swarm makes its next close passes in 2032 and 2036. And if dangerous rocks are riding in it, most won't be visible until they're already past us."
The physicist who debunked the Sodom asteroid claim is now warning about the Taurid meteor stream, remnants of a giant comet that crosses Earth's orbit twice yearly. His research indicates the stream could contain up to 1,000 rocks the size of the 2013 Chelyabinsk meteor, which hospitalized 1,500 people. The swarm's next close approaches in 2032 and 2036 may not be detectable until after the danger has passed.
