I would think seismographs would pick up any major land impacts, although
I'm not sure that's the case for ocean impacts. If Russia was able to pick
up our nuclear tests (and visa-versa) years ago I would think we would be
able to detect large impacts. At least I HOPE so! Not that there would be
much we could do about it anyway once they hit....The old "Put your head
between your knees" saying comes to mind though!
