Dr Judit Györgyey-Ries claims the asteroid is the size of the Statue of Liberty and will hit us in October 2017.

The astronomer, from the University of Texas' McDonald Observatory, believes the giant rock will create a huge impact when it collides with the planet.

Scientists estimate Asteroid 2012 TC4 is around 40-metres wide and could cause even more chaos than one which hospitalised more than 1,200 people when it exploded over Russia in February 2013.

Dr Györgyey-Ries said: "We could see an airburst maybe broken windows, depending on where it hits."

The giant rock narrowly missed earth in October 2012 when it passed 94,800km away.

Detlef Koschny, head of the near-earth object segment at the European Space Agency, said: "There is a one in a million chance that it could hit us.

"The size was estimated from the brightness, but we don't know the reflectivity. So it could be smaller or larger, we assume from 10 to 40 meters.

"A 40m iron object would go through the atmosphere and make a crater, a 10m rocky object would hardly be noticed," he told astronomy website astrowatch.net.

Shock waves from the 2013 airburst smashed windows, rattled buildings, and injured more than 1,200 people.

The shock-wave was so big damage extended 50 miles on either side of where the rock actually hit.
