SHOCK ASTEROID WARNING: Planet earth faces 100 YEARS of killer strikes starting in 2017

ASTEROIDS could rain down on the earth for 100 years, shocked experts have just warned.

A previously unknown asteroid belt has been located in deep space and is now hurtling towards our part of the solar system.

It means a 'global killer' could collide with Earth as soon as 2020, wiping out life as we know it and changing the climate for millennia.

The terrifying predictions came as NASA revealed disturbing new data showing 400 impacts are expected between 2017 and 2113, based on new observational data of objects seen in space over the past 60 days.

Most will have a maximum diameter of around 100 metres - the size of seven double decker buses - and the potential to cause significant damage.

But concerned scientists warned a colossal "monster" is also heading our way, with one 'mega' asteroid threatening earth in just SIX years.

"experts" ?

What does anyone else know about this?

Or does this need to be in the hoax forum?

Spacemongers, give us the scoop. What "previously unknown asteroid belt?"

Imagine if life turned into a series of newscasts about where the last massive asteroid hit, and how many people were killed. There's been a movie or two like this, but the real thing would be pretty horrific.

And then you see the blinding light, about 5 seconds before you feel your skin start to burn intensely- the last thing you ever see.

We must run and tell the king!

I'd like to start by speaking about this source: Express UK, also known as the Daily Express, is a tabloid newspaper. So I wouldn't put too much trust in anything they say.

The article gives no sources, and I can find no announcement from NASA about this. Also, I did a Google News search for "asteroid warning", and this was the only link about anything besides the close shave we had earlier today with an NEO.

I'm going to call HOAX on this one. But thank you for the quick post! It's always good to give too much warning, than none at all.

Well thats real comforting! Theyre all pretty massive sounding. Is that source a good one?

any jobs to help prevent the coming disaster because even if above not true we still got junk floating around out there,and did i not read on here some where that warner brothers will fund Jear Roddenberrys Star Treck future
?

More doom porn. I like the CAPS in the title too, makes it extra doomy.

Come on!!! Lets get it over with. I would rather have a big rock smash the earth then melt by radiation from ww3

I agree. I would rather be killed by a natural act of the universe than be killed by the hand of our psychopath leaders.

Read the article. It's bullshirt.

There are three Asteroid belts in our Solar System, correct? Or is it two?

Kaiper Belt

There's no reliable sources on this one TA
Tabloids don't count, sorry

*help*

Yeah, the source and the writer are sketchy to say the least.

Nathan Rao

Perhaps one of the worst offenders for touting extreme weather is the UKs The Daily Express which at this time of year will print dozens of headlines, from “record breaking snowfall” to “the coldest winter in decades”. These notoriously exaggerated and inaccurate reports are written by Nathan Rao.

But where do they get their information from? Well in the case of The Daily Express the answer is via little known weather companies, such as “Exacta Weather” or “Vantage Weather Services”, companies with a less-than-stellar reputation for long range forecasting, who use, amongst other things, “variations in solar output” to determine their findings. Such findings that curiously consistently predict extreme or record breaking weather patterns for tabloid newspapers to report.

In fact these companies are barely companies at all, in some cases merely individuals who claim to set up weather predicting companies, like in the case of Jonathan Powell, who has sprung up as a forecaster for more than one weather service in the past.

But maybe my source is not much better either lol

Hah, before I clicked on this thread, the side ad bar was Supernatural with comets raining down.

*doom face*

I see no NASA confirmation on a full event. Possibly just a prediction based on what has happened, to what may happen due to such. Predictions forum seem less likely of conducive debate though, as to how real this is, good luck if it goes that way.

No, you're probably right, Nathan Rao loves his doom porn, wouldn't surprise me if he was a regular on here (not a dig at the site, just a few of its more tinfoily members)...combined with the express I can honestly say, until a better source comes along, I would treat this like the big curly poo that it is.

Anyone interested in the actual known risks?
