A massive asteroid is on a collision course with Earth, and it is large enough to spell the end of humanity.
This is the radical claim of an online community of biblical theorists who say that life as we know it will be wiped out between 22 to 28 September this year.
Despite their lack of credentials, the popularity of the prediction has now forced Nasa to speak up, dismissing the theory as unfounded.
According to the radical rumours, the asteroid would strike near Puerto Rico triggering earthquakes and tsunamis sometime between between 22 to 28 September this year
‘Nasa knows of no asteroid or comet currently on a collision course with Earth, so the probability of a major collision is quite small,’ a Nasa spokesperson said.
‘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.’
According to the theorists, governments of the world’s leading nations are aware of what will happen.
They believe they are keeping the information secret to prevent mass panic and allow the rich and famous time to prepare for the event.
Other accounts of the apocalypse theory being shared online agree that the event will be a climate catastrophe. Others have even predicted the events will be started by Cern’s Large Hadron Collider (pictured)
The Inquisitr reports that self-proclaimed prophet Rev Efrain Rodriguez made the original prediction after getting a message from God.
According to the ‘message’, Rodriguez says the asteroid would strike near Puerto Rico triggering earthquakes and tsunamis.
This, he adds, will devastate the east coast of the US, Mexico, central and southern America.
He warned that Nasa should issue an alert ‘so people can be relocated from the areas that are to be affected.’
Other accounts of the apocalypse theory being shared online agree that the event will be a climate catastrophe.
Some cite a meeting between French foreign minister Laurent Fabius and US Secretary of State John Kerry in May 2014 is further evidence the Rapture is approaching, according to the Huffington Post.
Others have even predicted the events will be started by Cern’s Large Hadron Collider.
One blogger, said: ‘The Cern logo is 666, the sign of the beast in a circle. The Cern collider looks like the all seeing eye or stargate we see so much of.’
There have been so many of these proclaimed apocalyptic events that were prophecised that when the real thing comes along many won’t believe it & just dismiss it as a prank.
A bit like the boy who called wolf BUT terminal.
Gosh darn it, I’m spending an awful lot of money on my son’s wedding taking place September 26th. Maybe I should cancel the whole thing. What do you think?
