NASA 'is firing rockets at death planet Nibiru to stop the end of the world'

Is NASA secretly firing rockets into the sky to stave off apocalypse – as a secret ‘death planet’ looms towards our world?

Almost certainly not, but that hasn’t stopped UFO fans getting their knickers in a twist.

The Koz Telegram claims that NASA may have secretly unleashed a barrage of rockets to change the trajectory of Nibiru as it came towards our planet last week.

(Nibiru, in case you’re not familiar, is a fictional death planet which supposedly lurks at the edge of our solar system, and with which UFO fans are obsessed).

Quoting an unnamed Russian ufologist, the Koz Telegram says, ‘Nibiru threatened the Earth with destruction’ but NASA may have ‘changed its trajectory’.

Quite how it’s possible to ‘secretly’ launch things into space in an era where 10-year-olds carry phones with HD video recording is open to question.

There may also be an element of backpedalling here, as the ‘Koz Telegram’ predicted that Nibiru would destroy Earth on August 16.

The new story claims that the threat may still be imminent – but NASA fended it off with secret rockets last week.

Hmmmmm….

So is Nibiru real? Should we be worried?

Of course, the whole thing is absolutely ridiculous: Nibiru doesn’t exist, has never existed, and poses no threat to our planet (because it doesn’t exist).

Nibiru (or Planet X) was widely predicted to hit our planet in December 2016, and before that in April 2016, and December 2015.

Are you seeing a pattern here?

Prior to that, it was predicted to smash into our planet to coincide with the Mayan apocalypse in 2012 – and before that, Nancy Lieder, an American website writer who claimed to have an alien implant in her brain, predicted it would destroy the world in 2003.

Nibiru does not exist. It has never been seen on any telescope, and no credible scientist has ever confirmed its existence.

NASA has thoroughly debunked the Nibiru myth via its Beyond 2012 page, saying, ‘Nibiru and other stories about wayward planets are an Internet hoax. There is no factual basis for these claims.

‘If Nibiru or Planet X were real and headed for an encounter with the Earth, astronomers would have been tracking it for at least the past decade, and it would be visible by now to the naked eye.’
