COLLISION COURSE

Was just reading in "Astronomy" magazine I picked up at the newsstand.
It was talking about collision threats, (i.e. Comets, Meteors,
Asteroids). As was thinking. If we strategically positioned Hodawanec's
"Gravity" sensors around the globe, wouldn't we actually have earlier
warning about this impending doom based on the increased gravitational
signature (due to the sensitivity of these detectors) coming from any
certain direction? All these sensors could feed their signals to some
master computer which would be able to provide the direction and
velocity (which if I am not mistaken could be found indirectly by the
strength of the gravitational flux). Earlier detection, more time to do
something about it.
