If astronomers are right, all life on this planet could be extinguished in less than 30 years from now. Scientists at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory have detected a large object the size of Manhattan possibly on a collision course with Earth. Using their Near-Earth Object Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (NEOWISE), the 10-mile wide object was found approximately 51 million miles from Earth. Scientists believe that during a close encounter with Mars, the asteroid was nudged slightly off its usual orbit and may currently be on a high speed collision course with our fragile planet.

The asteroid is calculated to have a potentially lethal encounter with the Earth on March 35, 2041. Astronomers have placed the odds of an impact at 1 in 2.04, which is by far the most unprecedented risk ever faced to humanity, let alone from asteroids. Such an impact could potentially end civilization as we know it.

More information will be posted here as the story develops...

Im not sure if these alleged scientists expect us to make the month of March longer for some reason,, but I guess its food for thought,,,lol

From that same web page:

"This iReport has been removed because it was flagged by the community and found to be in violation of the iReport Community Guidelines and Terms of Use."

spooky twilight zone music plays on,,,,,,,

lol

CNN
This iReport is not available
CNN PRODUCER NOTE NASA has confirmed via email that this story is false. A spokewoman for the Jet Propulsion Laboratory says that the largest object detected by NEOWISE measures 3 km in diameter and poses no risk to Earth. The iReport has been removed.


Another false report from the liberal media.

35th of March?

He'd fit right in the oBummer team.




At a campaign event in Beaverton, OR, Obama claimed to have visited 57 U.S. states during the campaign.

Not quite as bad as "BUSH" calling his 8 years in office awesome while people lost over 21 trillion dollars of THEIR OWN wealth! 2 wars that we will be paying for for the next 60 years(Atleast) Shall I continue or do you get it! Willy

Earlier this week — and for a period of nearly 24 hours — a CNN iReport falsely claimed that a newly discovered asteroid has a nearly 50% chance of hitting the Earth in 2041. The story received more than 230,000 hits and 23,000 media shares before it was finally taken down.

Ah, such are the perils of unvetted and unedited "citizen journalism" articles. In this case, a user named Marcus575 put together a piece about this alleged asteroid:

Note the fictional date of March 35 (most readers obviously didn't). The story continues:

Nice, eh?

yep,a Breakdown would be interesting!
