2012, Eros, Extraterrestrials and the Moons of Mars
In researching near earth asteroid 433 Eros and its possible impact on the 2012 end of the world predictions, I came upon this very interesting information:
Its approximate diameters are 40 x 14 x 14 km making it the second largest planet-crosser and larger than the Martian moons Phobos and Deimos.

This interests me because it makes the outrageous claim that an asteroid, in this case 433 Eros, is larger than the moons of Mars: Phobos and Deimos.
That’s amazing! I vaguely remember reading something years ago that Phobos and Deimos are so small and light in weight that there has been some speculation by people who think “outside the box” that they could be satellites left by an extinct civilization or the abandoned spaceships of extraterrestrials.
