Asteroid 'to destroy Earth in four weeks' as conspiracy theorists claim September 21 could be our last day

Earth will be destroyed in four weeks as a giant asteroid heads towards our planet, it has been claimed.

Conspiracy theorists claim that the world will be destroyed upon its arrival between September 21 and 28.

The origins of the claim come from self-proclaimed prophet Efrain Rodriguez, who has passed his research onto NASA.

Mr Rodriguez' prediction appears to support the Blood Moon Prophecy, with September 28 marking the last of four 'blood moons'.


It is claimed that disaster looms when a lunar eclipse - which last took place in April 2014 - is followed by six full moons.

He says he had a vision of the asteroid "entering the airspace of the town of Arecibo in Puerto Rico, striking the sea between the island of Mona and Mayaguez and triggering a magnitude 12 earthquake".

Because the prophercy has so many people worried, NASA has been forced to issue a statement clarifying matters.

Paul Chodas, from NASA's Near-Earth Object office, has thrown out the cliams.

Speaking at its Jet Propulsion Laboratory, in Pasadena, California, he said: "There is no existing evidence that an asteroid or any other celestial object is on a trajectory that will impact Earth.

"In fact, not a single one of the known objects has any credible chance of hitting our planet over the next century.

"There is no scientific basis, not one shred of evidence, that an asteroid or any other celestial object will impact Earth on those dates."
