"Evidence Found for Undiscovered Comet That May Threaten Earth""Don't worry too much"
Despite the uncertainty, Cooke said the public shouldn't get into a panic about a potential "doomsday comet."
"Does this shower indicate that a comet's going to whack Earth? I kind of doubt it," he said. "I don't think you can infer from this meteor stream that the parent comet is in a potentially hazardous orbit."
Jenniskens as well urged some perspective, drawing on history as a guide.
"Chances are very small that the comet will actually hit us, as such impacts are rare in Earth’s history," he said."
Rare, slim chances, but not impossible......................
