A viral asteroid report that claims an asteroid will impact Earth near Puerto Rico sometime between September. 15 and 28, 2015 is not true, NASA states.
“There is no scientific basis —not one shred of evidence — that an asteroid or any other celestial object will impact Earth on those dates,” said Paul Chodas, manager of NASA’s Near-Earth Object office at the JPL, in a statement.
The viral rumour making the rounds on various blogs and websites over the past month claim the impact will cause destruction along coastal regions of the U.S., Mexico, Central America and South America.
