The innovative Isodual Theory of Antimatter proposed by R. M. Santilli is able to provide a classical representation of neutral or charged antimatter bodies in a way compatible with available classical experimental evidence on antimatter. Since Earth appears to have been hit in the past by antimatter asteroids (as it seems to be the case for the 1908 Tunguska explosion in Siberia), the author presents in this paper an analysis of possible trajectories of an antimatter asteroid in our Solar System and the possibilities of collision with our planet under the assumption of the repulsive gravitational interaction between Earth and the antimatter asteroid. Moreover, an estimate of the minimum approach speed required for an antimatter asteroid to impact with Earth is theoretically and numerically identified at different distances from our planet, along with other considerations about the trajectories.
