NASA reportedly confirms world not ending in September, despite predictions
Predictions of a world-ending asteroid hitting the Earth in the near future are nothing new.
Among the latest crop is this one reported by the Huffington Post. A so-called “online community of biblical theorists” believes a huge asteroid will strike the planet sometime in the Sept. 22-28 window, wiping us out.
For reasons unexplained, some of these crackpot predictions gain more traction than others. This one reportedly caught the attention of NASA, which responded with a statement, according to Yahoo News.
According to Yahoo News, a NASA spokesperson said: “NASA knows of no asteroid or comet currently on a collision course with Earth, so the probability of a major collision is quite small. In fact, as best as we can tell, no large object is likely to strike the Earth any time in the next several hundred years.”
On the contrary, NASA said in a statement from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California, an asteroid designated 1999 FN53 would safely pass more than 26 times the distance of Earth to the moon on May 14.
Of course it won’t end in September only nutty readers from BIN who are too lazy to live their own lives can’t WAIT FOR IT TO END.
if there is ‘any intelligence’ beyond our planet perhaps they already ‘know how to’ deal with such issues
only in a ‘worst case’ scenario would something like that be done “intentionally” from foreign hostile forces
