370 meter Apophis was discovered in 2004 and for awhile Nasa was saying there was a chance it could hit the earth in 2029...then they changed it to if Apophis travels through a small defined area of space, a keyhole, in 2029 then that would set it up to hit the earth in 2036...but then they said it wouldn't and apparently we're in the clear.

what is the earliest warning we have ever had on a near earth object about to cross out path? I get the sense that they dont usually predict it more than a few days to weeks normally. Do we have any record of prediction months or years out?
the reason i ask is because i tend to buy into the idea that the asteroids and meteors are mostly already in low earth orbit but dont become visible until they are almost ready to hit us. Could the firmament of old have been broken up during the flood and what remains of the firmament is the debris field? (the windows of heaven were opened and the great deep was broken up, Genesis)

September you say?
THE END of the world is coming on September 1 - or at least, that's the belief of one pastor who noted a convergence of signs in the heavens, including that of the arrival of Comet NEOWISE.
End of the world: NEOWISE, asteroid and Ring of Fire eclipse 'sign of the APOCALYPSE'

I'm calling BS on this, but what do I know lol.
There is a lot of asteroid watchers who chase them for a hobby, this wouldn't be inside information etc. It would be open information of where and when.
PLUS it takes awhile to know an asteroid true orbital path.
If there was an "asteroid field coming towards earth by September 2020." Those hobbyist would have already seen it by now.

It isn't that the rocks are headed towards earth, the solar system is heading towards the debris field . # all, we are already entering the outside of it, hence the near weekly near earth passes by up o a half dozen big rocks all year. Remember how many fireballs were being documented before the psychological operation hypochondria went into play in the first month of the year??
