Telescope Reviews: Re: The Sky is Falling

It would not take a very large impactor to cause immense damage if it were to strike in an urban environment. Take the object that created the Barringer Meteorite Crater some 50,000 years ago for instance. It was only 150 feet across, weighed roughly 300,000 tons, and was traveling at a speed of 40,000 miles per hour. The force generated by its impact was equal to the explosion of 20 million tons of TNT. Now imagine that event happening in New York, Los Angeles, London, or any other large city. I am very much afraid the general public will simply not believe it could happen until something like it indeed does happen. Then, for the hundreds of thousands or millions of people killed, it will be too late to “do something about it” beforehand. I can just imagine the scorn that would be heaped on NASA and other space agencies in event this were to happen. A very well earned scorn at that.

I am here to tell you the Truth. We have been created as slaves to be used as batteries for an alien race. You must give up everything you hold dear in this illusionary world so that you may save yourself in the real world.
