Killer Asteroid Could Strike Earth Next Week: Doomsday Looming Claims Televangelist.

Hope this is only just another doomsday theory.

The recent lunar eclipse had spawned countless doomsday theories; now here comes another one. Only this time it's not the moon but a gigantic asteroid that is expected to destroy the world, possibly as early as next week.
Televangelist Pat Robertson has predicted that a big asteroid would hit earth and destroy 'everything' and this could happen anytime next week.
Robertson predicted the end of the world during his show The 700 Club that airs on ABC Family. 'A giant meteor will bring an end to the world' is a prophecy by none other than Jesus Christ, news website rawstory.com reported.
"I wrote a book. It deals with an asteroid hitting the Earth. I don't see anything else that fulfills the prophetic words of Jesus Christ other than an asteroid strike," Robertson told viewers during the show.
"There isn't anything that will cause the seas to roil, that will, you know, cause the skies to darken, the moon and the sun not to give their light, the nations terrified on Earth of what's happening. There isn't anything that's going to do that."
"We're big enough to draw some of them in. And as somebody said, it's 'blind luck.' Well, it's the mercy of the Lord. But if that mercy ever got lifted, whew. That's what Jesus himself said!" he advised. "So, hey, just get ready. Get right. And stay right with the Lord."
"It could be next week, it could be 1,000 years from now. But nevertheless, we want to be ready whenever the Lord says, 'I'm wrapping it up, and it's time to come home."
Robertson is known to predict sensational disasters in order to publicise his books.
Asteroids entering the earth's atmosphere have increased remarkably in the last 14 years as more than 26 nuclear-sized explosions have been detected on the Earth's surface caused by asteroids.
The startling revelation was made by the asteroid-hunting organisation the B612 Foundation earlier this week. The report collected data from the nuclear missile detection system that picks nuclear blasts on earth.
"The fact that none of these asteroid impacts shown in the video was detected in advance is proof that the only thing preventing a catastrophe from a 'city-killer' sized asteroid is blind luck," said Ed Lu, member of the B612 Foundation.
The former NASA astronaut warned of the possibility of major asteroid attacks in the future as the Earth is getting more vulnerable to such strikes. Memories are still fresh of the huge meteor that fell out of the Russian sky last year; it had left around 1,200 people injured.

Well, at least we don't have to wait much longer to know if he is right or not.

[zorgon]

Sooner or later one will hit us   Then they can say "See? We told ya so"

They can only claim that if they say every asteroid will hit us

Let's hope that I am right about the secret space program

[zorgon]

I think Russia has a few like THIS

[Sgt.Rocknroll]

There's more to come I think. If it just misses us we can take our ships to colonize the new asteroid!

[astr0144]

Yes ArMaP,

I don't think they or yahoo have given us much warning on this occasion...Compared to the several other similar suggestions that have been made in the past ones !

Well, at least we don't have to wait much longer to know if he is right or not.

If it exists "Z" and it has been created from money from the missing Millions....If it was a for real asteroid collision incident...Maybe we should not question how it was paid for and be greatful ! 

This would be a good use for secret technology Star Wars Directed-Energy Weapons maybe as opposed to using such technology that may have destroyed the World Trade center...

Would they both be the same thing !     Maybe they have different weapons for various purposes...Larger ones for destroying  Asteroids or ET ship attacks..

Let's hope that I am right about the secret space program

well here's the funny part that comes right before  or after the op

Asteroids hitting Earth more often than previously thought, ex-NASA astronauts' group says

Large asteroids are hitting the Earth far more often than anyone realized, according to a new warning from a group led by former NASA astronauts. They say the only thing preventing a meteor from destroying a major city is "blind luck."

From 2000 to 2013, the B612 Foundation says 26 meteorites packing the punch of an atomic bomb exploded on Earth. They all landed far from humans.

The group's findings make one realize meteor impacts could be three to 10 times more common than previously thought, "CBS This Morning' contributor Michio Kaku, a physics professor at the City University of New York, explained.

Kaku, author of "The Future of the Mind," said that "a city buster" that could take out New York City could hit every 30 years, instead of every 150 years like previously thought.

"Remember, we had that meteor that sailed over Russia? What was astonishing was that it was only 60 feet across," Kaku said. "It had the force of 20 Hiroshima bombs. In other words, we had underestimated a whole class of small meteors less than 100 feet across."

The Russia meteor was a wake-up call for scientists, Kaku said.


"We have very limited information," he said. "We have no space telescope out there dedicated to locking onto these things and we can only see evidence of asteroids 150 feet across. This (meteor over Russia was) 60 feet across, which has forced us to...reanalyze and recalibrate the probability of a meteor impact."

Experts are now working to create an early warning system with a satellite called The Sentinel, sponsored by B612, a private foundation, Kaku noted. The next step is to create an interceptor that could go out and "detonate something to push an asteroid out of the way."

"This is now going to be a priority for space scientists," Kaku said. "Something that we had neglected all these decades, we now realize we can't ignore anymore."

Astronaut warns: 'Asteroid hits Earth' catastrophe not so far-fetched at all
by irene klotz

The chance of a city-killing asteroid striking Earth is higher than scientists previously believed, according to a non-profit group of asteroid hunters led by an ex-astronaut.

A global network that listens for nuclear weapons detonations detected 26 asteroids that exploded in Earth's atmosphere from 2000 to 2013, data collected by the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty Organisation shows. The explosions include the February 15, 2013 impact over Chelyabinsk, Russia, which left more than 1,000 people injured by flying glass and debris.

"There is a popular misconception that asteroid impacts are extraordinarily rare – that's incorrect," says former astronaut Ed Lu, who heads the California-based B612 Foundation. Asteroids as small as 40m – less than half the size of an American football field – have the potential to level a city, he adds. "Picture a large apartment building – moving at Mach 50," Lu says.

Mach 50 is 50 times the speed of sound, or roughly 17km per second.

NASA already has a programme in place that tracks asteroids larger than 1km. An object of this size, roughly equivalent to a small mountain, would have global consequences if it struck Earth. An asteroid about 9.7km in diameter hit Earth some 65 million years ago, triggering climate changes believed to have caused the dinosaurs – and most other life on Earth at the time – to die off.

"Chelyabinsk taught us that even 20m asteroids can have substantial effect," Lu says.

City-killer asteroids are forecast to strike once every 100 years, but the prediction isn't based on hard evidence. B612 intends to address that issue with a privately funded, infrared space telescope called Sentinel that will be tasked to find potentially dangerous asteroids near Earth. The telescope, which costs US$250mil (RM818mil), is scheduled to launch in 2018.

B612 takes its name from the fictional planet in the book The Little Prince, by French author and aviator Antoine de Saint-Exupery. – Reuters
