Why Has NASA Announced That A Meteor Is NOT Going To Hit The Earth In September?

It is actually Schrödinger's meteor.

It will/will not strike earth based only by what a small retiree named Mabel observes. (She currently lives in Boca Raton and has a side business selling obscene doilies that she hand-makes)

Now that's thinking outside/inside the box

Maybe we are all gonna die, and they say that so all the Reptilians gather in Puerto Rico.

Can you provide a nasa source for this please?

"Yahoo News reports that a NASA spokesman has dismissed the asteroid impact doomsday theory, saying that NASA knows of no space rock currently on collision course with Earth.

“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.”"

because the media (movies, tv news and cartoon channels, internet, twitter etc) keeps bringing up the idea that we are going to get wiped out in the very near future by a poleshiff or angry aliens

some 'reliable' source needs to reassure us sitting ducks that nothing deadly will happen this year

No idea when this was written, but from NASA:

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. To be able to better calculate the statistics, astronomers need to detect as many of the near-Earth objects as possible.

That is in the last paragraph and is word for word what is being quoted. I don't think this was anything recent though. It looks like it comes from their Comet Shoemaker-Levy page....so it must be old.

Going out on a limb here and saying its not going to happen because it never does, however this may be the one time it does finally happen, and if thats the case I say its about frickin time.

If NASA said nothing....

People would be like OMG NASA IS SILENT ON THIS ONE!!! The dooooom is real!

That's why.

I didn't even know this was circling the internet. Was there a thread on it? I'm usually up-to-date on all the doom porn here at ATS.

Well then, someone here is absolutely NOT the most optimistic squirrel in the tree, right?

Yahoo news reports with a link that isn't Yahoo?

Uhhhhh no thanks

a reply to: Vasa Croe

Yeah that's all I Could find too.

Obviously written before the Chelyabinsk meteor event, as there's no mention of it

I've had people posting in fear on Facebook over it, at least now NASA have came out I can finally say to them I told you so, LMAO!

This is the story that they have been linking to....

Fears over asteroid impact which 'will DESTROY the world this SUMMER'

The very fact that is comes from the Daily Star is enough for the old facepalm...

Same here. That's why I posted it. For all the internet rumors and blogs about this, I missed them all until I saw this article where NASA is addressing it.

There are many talented amateur astronomers all over the world. If a large meteor or asteroid was on a collision course with us in September they would have spotted it by now. There are also thousands of professional astronomers. why would they all remain silent if such a catastrophe was approaching? It would be absolutely impossible to keep a lid on something like this. stop worrying about nonsense...

Its not an asteroid, its the end of times,it doesnt mean your dead just a new way of life. Happy?

Well then, NASA must not have officially addressed it in which case they're not denying the rumors, and then it can be surmised that the meteor will hit.

Damn it NASA why cant I have one,just one doom porn without you messing up my climax...oh well gonna go find me some thread about "aliens invasion from Nibiru, the moon of planet X,orbiting Nemesis, the Brown Dwarf sister of Helios",

On the side note, with all the really close meteor encounters only discovered a few hours or days before they fly by,I dont put too much stock on "no collision for the next several hundreds years".

You're absolutely correct. But somewhere "God" got involved in this prediction So I doubt many will listen to actual factscts.

Here's a thread I made a long time ago about why NASA couldn't hide something like this, even if they wanted to.

It just isn't possible.
