You know of dinosaurs in any planet of our solar system ?
If it hit Isla Nublar, I'd say we just shot ourselves in the foot.

There was a fun cold war movie about it .
While earth is threatened by an asteroid, Russian - USA discussions happens on cooperation to defend our planet. Rough quote:
"We all knows no one has nuclear weapons in orbit, as it is forbidden by treaty XXX
But in the hypothesis some nuclear weapons actually existed in orbit anyway... how good would they perform against an asteroid ?"
In the end, >!maybe 50 % of the nukes randomly failed before reaching the asteroid!<
Not sure of the exact movie, probably [Meteor](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meteor_(film))

No, but as we didn't detect anything for now, they are either ....
Absent
Advanced enough to hide : They could probably handle another rock hitting their world.
Primitive, enough they probably wouldn't have built a civilization yet. ( bacterial colonies in old lava tubes on Mars, random lifeforms in the oceans of Europa, under the ice surface ? )
Who knows ?
