Internet bloggers and Armageddon conspiracists are predicting the "end of days" event to happen between September 22 to 28.

One blogger has worryingly suggested US residents retain their firearms after suggesting that the controversial military operation Jade Helm taking place between July and September in several southern states is in preparation for predicted anarchy that could ensue as the asteroid nears the planet.

Meanwhile, many fringe religious groups and Biblical theorists are claiming the predicted impact will herald the beginning of the Rapture - a seven-year tribulation period.

There have been so many online posts and viewings that NASA experts saw fit to put out a retraction reassuring people no large object is expected to hit the planet for "several hundred years".

Others seem convinced that the meteorite's arrival will somehow be caused by a gravitational mishap during tests currently being carried out by the Large Hadron Collider - miles of tunnels where scientists are smashing atoms to try to discover a parallel universe.

The LHC is located 175 metres under the French-Swiss border near Geneva, Switzerland.

It is accepted by scientist that the LHC, operated by CERN, could cause a black hole to form, but there has been no suggestion it could affect the movement of asteroids in space, yet this has not deterred Nostradamus style predictors.

But one blogger suggested the LHC was a much more sinister machine, stating: "The CERN logo is 666 - the sign of the beast - in a circle.

"The CERN collider looks like the all-seeing eye or stargaze we see so much of."

One of the more alarming theories is in a post on the Whistleblower800 website, which claims to lift the lid on government corruption.

The writer claims to have cracked the reason for the controversial Jade Helm military exercise taking place from next month across Texas Utah and southern California.
