NASA have said a mysterious object hurtling towards Earth 'could be a comet or an asteroid'.
The space agency recently spotted two massive space objects heading towards our planet.
While the American space agency has pinpointed one as a comet, the other has left it slightly more baffled, the Daily Mirror reports.
The comet is set to fly close to Earth this week.

I like your fantasy, it's a lot like mine. I mean, if aliens were going to come here, now would be a good time.

Regardless, those older DUers know what I mean. They'll know that your post is worthy. (Come to think of it, this thread may rise to a DUzy worthy thread, but especially your post.)

(34,137 posts)In fact the first time I saw it, censoring the scenes with the nude woman made the plot incomprehensible. About ten years ago I finally caught it on cable TV in the full uncensored version and I liked it much better.
As a side note, I first heard of the movie because of theme song. I bought a cheap CD of sci fi movie themes and the Henry Mancini music from the movie was on it. I still like that piece!

(34,845 posts)I had to do some hunting to find the original cable version. I preferred it because it was faster paced and the scenes left out contributed nothing to the plot (and the cable version was uncensored). The music is just right for it, too.

Or have everybody pray to have it miss earth since we all know how effective prayer is in a life and death crisis.

Flat Earthers and Science Deniers alike are going to be giddy at this news.
I predict that within the next 48 hours a search on Youtube for Planet X or Nibiru will have thousands of trumpkins making videso about how they were right and we should all pray and get to our Bug Out place so they can
