Asteroid 2018 GE3


The thought of a giant asteroid crashing into our little planet and sending us the way of the dinosaurs is terrifying. What is even more terrifying is that it nearly became a reality on April 14, 2018.

First noticed by the Catalina Sky Survey, Asteroid 2018 GE3 shot past Earth only a few hours after its detection. At its the closest point, the asteroid was only 192,317 kilometers from Earth, less than half the distance between Earth and the Moon.

With an estimated diameter of 48–110 meters, this asteroid is currently believed to be the largest known object to have past so close to us. There is no doubt that had it made contact with the earth, the devastation would have been astronomical.

As per this, I read an asteroid hitted Russia in 2013 and in 2029, an asteroid bigger than this one will come closer to earth.

They said it will not hit us but I don't trust these scientists.

Genetically Altered Bacteria


The mid-1990s was a time of many scientific advancements around the world. That being said, for every new computer or more eco-friendly car, there was a failure. One such failure could have had astronomical effects on the world, and it came in one of the smallest packages imaginable; bacteria.

Genetically modified bacteria, to be precise. Created by a German biotech company, Klebsiella Planticola was a supposedly helpful microbe that would convert dead plant matter into ethanol, which could then be used in everything from powering our cars to creating drinkable alcohol.

The scientists were quite pleased with the success of their project, and by 1994 they had a working strain of the bacteria that was ready for field testing.

Fortunately, independent testing at Oregon State University found something that the company producing it had somehow missed. They discovered that K. Planticola didn’t wait until plants had died to begin fermenting them, and every plant it was tested on died soon after.

To make things worse, K. Planticola was based on a bacteria present in the decomposition of every type of terrestrial plant on Earth, meaning that it could potentially cause a mass plant extinction that could devastate farms and forests all over the world.

Needless to say, the field tests were called off and all plans to unintentionally create a global plant super plague were put on hold indefinitely.
Wow, this is how bioweapons were created by mistake. then exploited.

Spanish flu.


So NORAD has been mentioned three times!

With all these listed attempts, think it's safe to say that the Earth is an elastic/resilient entity. Nukes or volcanic/tectonic events may not kill it, but deforestation for the purpose of urbanisation surely will.
you're into conservation of Nature.

Hmm last last the world will end someday and somehow

New creatures will then emerge in the face of the earth.

Watched a movie where a comet that would've been avoided hit the earth due to the selfishness of man, some people took a space ship to another planet only to be eaten by some beautiful but mysterious animals over there.

That movie really defines what might happen to our dear earth, someone should remind me the movie name please.

The Bonilla Comet


When Mexican astronomer José Bonilla claimed to have observed over 400 dark unidentified flying objects cross in front of the sun while observing sunspots on August 12th, 1883, most of the scientific community wrote it off as a hoax or a high-flying flock of Geese.

At the time, that seemed to be the end of the story. Then, in 2011, a new study into Bonilla’s observations and the pictures he had taken revealed something terrifying.

The dark unidentified objects were not, in fact, a bunch of flying birds at all. As it turns out, they were most likely fragments of a billion-ton comet that passed within 8000 kilometers of Earth, less than the width of Russia!
Fantastic

Russia , China and North Korea don't mind putting an end to this current arrangement of the world.

Any small argument, their leaders will mention nuclear strike as if only the bad guys have it.
