Doomsday Mongers Say The World Will End Next Month, But NASA Isn’t Too Convinced

The end is nigh, and six asteroids will hit the earth on September 28 – heralding the end of modern civilization.

That’s the sensational claim being made by doomsday conspiracists, who claim that a space rock up to 2.5 miles wide will strike Puerto Rico.

Their reason for believing this? It’s all part of the Blood Moon prophecy, which claims that the world will be destroyed when the last of four ‘blood moons’ over the last 18 months become visible.

That last blood moon is reportedly scheduled to occur on September 28 – and the doomsday prophets claim to have had visions of the asteroids destroying Earth.

Reverend Efraid Rodriguez, who originated the claims, wrote to Nasa and warned that he saw a vision of the asteroid destroying a town in Puerto Rico – triggering a magnitude 12 earthquake.

But unsurprisingly, there’s little to back up the sensational claims, and Nasa thinks that we shouldn’t become too worried yet.

Paul Chodas, manager of the Near-Earth Object office at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, said: ‘There is no scientific basis – not one shred of evidence – that an asteroid or any other celestial object will impact Earth on those dates.

‘If there were any object large enough to do that type of destruction in September, we would have seen something of it by now.’

Phew, we were slightly worried then.
