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.

1. Pray that it's a space craft coming at warp speed to rescue our planet

from self-imposed destruction!!

[2naSalit]

10. Beat me to it!!!

My first thought exactly.

[japple]

13. My fantasy is that on inorganination day, a YUUUGGGGEEE craft will land on

the Washington Mall and a cadre of agents from the Planetary Protection League will descend to escort the escaped orange one back to his home (prison) planet.

This fantasy actually helps to lower my blood pressure.

[2naSalit]

15. That's similar to y coping mechanism...

along with yelling at the radio - from whence my news offline cometh; going outside to yell, even at -20F or colder; become inebriated even though I don't do well with alcohol; make comments here and take naps.

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.

14. Revelations

John (while writing Revelations): "So Lord, the end will be signaled by trumpets?"
God: "No... I said Trump/Pence."
John: Yeah, trumpets.
God: "Never mind. They'll know."

[longship]

19. DUzy worthy!

Gosh, I miss the DUzys! Too bad that they are so damned much work.

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.)

[Thor_MN]

25. Have to admit that it isn't mine, but it is too good not to be repeated.

[longship]

28. Any good DUzy worthy post is worth stealing, my friend.

Never forget that.

[BumRushDaShow]

24. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DUzy seconded!

[Pathwalker]

29. BEST POST EVER ON DU!!! Thank you for

that much needed laugh. Now, I have to go blow my nose - the Diet 7up I snorted is tingling.

[sarah FAILIN]

30. stealing this, lol

[CrispyQ]

35. Love that.

[annabanana]

61. gonna steal this!

love it!

[War Horse]

18. We'd probably just nuke them in orbit

(maybe their shields could withstand it)

[Buckeye_Democrat]

23. ...

[csziggy]

39. I was just going to post this trailer for a movie that predicted this!

I welcome our new space vampire overlords - errr, overlady.

[randome]

47. One of my favorite B movies.

It hits the ground running.

[csziggy]

48. It doesn't get shown often on US TV because of the full frontal nudity

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!

[randome]

49. There is an original cable version and a 'full' version.

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.

[Jeroen]

60. Lol, the terror has just begun

How appropriate

[Vinca]

2. Trump gone airborne????

[ffr]

7. I was going to say we should name it Trump2017

Ready to strike America with untold harm on January 20th, however fragments starting hitting Earth on Tuesday.

[2naSalit]

11. +1

[treestar]

3. Thanks Trump

[mahatmakanejeeves]

4. I have the coordinates!

Latitude and longitude coordinates are: 38° 53' 23.7516'' N, 77° 0' 32.4108'' W.

Sheesh, it's the Capitol, not the Capital.

[2naSalit]

16. Not OUR house!

The drumpling's house(s)! Which ever one he's lounging in at the time, if it has to be the WH then so be it. I would rather it happen prior to 1/20 though, in a state of emergency, we could possibly keep Obama a little longer.

[BumRushDaShow]

26. Like this NYC event at a particular tower?

[2naSalit]

27. Now there's a thought....

It's not like we won't have to burn down the WH after the cheeto party is over, if it ever is.

[BumRushDaShow]

33. D.C. might face similar

depending on what is on that unknown object. Either this -

or

[2naSalit]

43. LOL!!!

Yep, one or the other.

[bettyellen]

50. Come on now, New York doesn't deserve this. Not again.

It's not easy knowing at least one of his properties will be attacked. Let's hope it's one under construction with no on on site at the time.

[TheCowsCameHome]

5. Is it covered with orange hair and sprouting tiny digits?

[rurallib]

6. Effing science-denying Republicans

would probably try to ignore this if it were a threat.
Or have everybody pray to have it miss earth since we all know how effective prayer is in a life and death crisis.

Thank jesus trump will be leader, eh? (sarcasm for the humor impaired)

[Vilis Veritas]

21. Actually they are all probbaly slapping themselves on the back

for building that bunker in their backyard for the day Planet X strikes the earth...

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

Just saying

Peace

[cbdo2007]

8. "hurtling towards Earth" though not actually hurtling towards Earth

Just hurtling out in space.

[Historic NY]

9. Trump would ignore it...

[FailureToCommunicate]

12. NASA better make some quick calls to these guys...

[Renew Deal]

17. Alternate headline: NASA says massive UFO hurtling towards earth

[elmac]

20. The only threat to our foreseeable future

is Don Sniffles.

[MissMillie]

22. I'd almost welcome this....

than see January 30th

[longship]

31. "It's time to embrace the horror!"

Steve Buscemi from
Armageddon.

[7962]

32. Seems as though they should have seen it a little earlier? nt

[LuvLoogie]

34. It is one of our own ships taking cover behind the comet.

The ship will hit all the major cities with nukes. Trump and Putin will claim they are from outer space, and the world will unite in fear and suspicion behind our newly fascist protectors against the evil aliens.

[roamer65]

36. Giant Meteor 2016 is running a bit late.

[Nay]

42. Eh, you beat me to it. IIRC, 16% of us voted for the giant meteor . . .

[muriel_volestrangler]

37. "2016 WF9 will approach Earth's orbit at a distance of nearly 32 million miles"

or about a third of the distance between the Earth and the Sun. Or well over 100 times further away than the Moon. This is not exactly 'hurtling towards' us.

[lancelyons]

38. I sure hope there isnt anything that suddenly changes its course

I sure hope there isnt anything that suddenly changes its course

also really glad we have the press here letting us know about these things.

[csziggy]

40. Here is the theme music for that arrival!

[paleotn]

41. No worries....

Not this time around anyway.

[Initech]

44. Did Agent K forget to leave a tip?

[sarcasmo]

45. Maybe Trump will call Bruce Willis and Ben Afleck, cause Trump knows Armageddon experts.

[randome]

46. Anyone see the 2011 movie Melancholia?

Most depressing end-of-the-world movie (that isn't self-induced) ever.

[randome]

56. As in tennis? I don't get it. Trump doesn't play tennis, does he?

[C_U_L8R]

58. It's a Twilight Zone reference....

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/To_Serve_Man_(The_Twilight_Zone)

punchline/spoiler here...

[randome]

59. I was kidding. Maybe when the aliens arrive, we can offer THEM a cookbook.
