The rock will wipe out humanity as we know it, allegedly

Remember when Earth was hit by a massive asteroid just months ago, on March 27? That's right, you don't. That's because, contrary to what gloomy headlines were announcing, this didn't really happen. 

Just like no space rock is going to crash into our planet this coming September 24, regardless of what conspiracy theorists with a sense of impending doom would have us believe.

Just another nonsensical end-of-the-world prediction

About this rumor that is now going around that an asteroid will collide with Earth sometime between September 22 and 28, with the most likely date for the impact being September 24, here's the one thing you should know: it's pure nonsense.

Which probably explains why the folks who started it are yet to get their story straight, and there are all sorts of tales about how the asteroid impact will bring about the biblical Rapture, birth a new world order or maybe mark the beginning of a global reign of the Illuminati.

Further, some say that the space rock that's now supposedly on a collision course with Earth and that will allegedly hit us towards the end of September will come tumbling down near Puerto Rica and trigger an earthquake and tsunamis that will do away with the Americas.

If you have some time to spare and feel like wasting it, do check out the video below explaining how the world as we know it will end this coming September and how our leaders are well aware of it but have only taken measures to protect the rich.

True, they did hide warnings for us ordinary folks in movies and public announcements, like when French foreign minister Laurent Fabius warned about climate change chaos but he was really talking about this collision, but for the most part, they did nothing to protect the world's population.

We still have many years ahead of us, NASA reassures

What's interesting is that, as nonsensical as it might be, this rumor that Earth will be hit by an asteroid in just a few months has gotten so much attention online that US space agency NASA was forced to intervene to pull the plug on all the hysteria before it got out of hand.

“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,” it said, as cited by HuffPost.

Now, not to rain on anybody's parade or anything of the sorts, but we dare say that, when it comes to potential asteroid threats to our planet, it's best to listen to what scientists have to say and not to conspiracies and rumors.
