NASA gameplans massive asteroid strike

World governments have been concerned for decades about a potential asteroid collision and the chaos that would ensue upon Earth.

Now, the information of what the different agencies would do about it is being shared with the public for the first time ever on social media.

Though the drill is run every two years by asteroid scientists around the world, the European Space Agency has decided to share the event publicly so everyone can see what would happen and what actions might be taken to mitigate the damage.

“The first step in protecting our planet is knowing what’s out there,” says Rüdiger Jehn, ESA’s Head of Planetary Defense, in a statement.

“Only then, with enough warning, can we take the steps needed to prevent an asteroid strike altogether, or to minimize the damage it does on the ground.”

Obviously it’s a cover-up for a real asteroid strike from nibiru and the reptoid brothers from Dulce will come out of hiding.

One day either an asteroid or a giant volcanic eruption is going to do great damage to the earth. Nothing can stop it. It has been decreed by the LORD GOD ALMIGHTY. It's in the BOOK. That's the way it will be.

Revelation 8:8-9 — 8 The second angel blew his trumpet, and something like a great mountain ablaze with fire was hurled into the sea. So a third of the sea became blood, 9 a third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed.

When you see the asteroid streak across the sky and then the flash of impact, place head between your knees and kiss your ass good bye
