Conspiracy theorists claim that Earth will face catastrophic events on September 28. This prediction is related to the “Blood Moon Prophecy,” which claims the world will end after the last of four lunar eclipses, known as “blood moons,” that will occur over an 18-month period, according to the Times of India.

The last “blood moon” is expected to occur on September 28, fueling these apocalyptic claims.
Among the most vocal proponents of this theory is the Rev. Efraid Rodriguez, who presented his own opinion that an asteroid would hit Puerto Rico.
Rodriguez, a self-proclaimed prophet, warned that this impact would cause a 12-magnitude earthquake, leading to widespread destruction. According to him, six large asteroids, the largest with an estimated width of 4 km, will collide with the Earth on this date. He even contacted NASA, urging them to take the warnings seriously.
However, NASA rejected these predictions.
Paul Chodas, director of NASA’s near-Earth object office, said there is no scientific evidence or data to support the hypothesis of an asteroid impact on Sept. 28 or in the near future. NASA’s monitoring systems, which constantly track near-Earth objects, have not detected any celestial bodies that collide with Earth. If an object large enough to cause such destruction had approached, it would have been identified long ago.
Why Puerto Rico?
The “Blood Moon” prophecy itself is a theory that has gained popularity in recent years. She links lunar eclipses to apocalyptic scenarios, but it is not supported by science. Experts have repeatedly debunked these predictions, pointing out that lunar eclipses are natural phenomena that have nothing to do with catastrophic events.
Despite the alarming claims made by doomsday theorists, NASA assures the public that there is no cause for concern. The agency continues to closely monitor near-Earth objects and maintains that no large asteroids pose a threat in the near future. The scientific community generally supports this position, pointing out the lack of credible evidence for any impending disaster.
Reverend Rodriguez’s prophecy is not the first of its kind. Over time, various individuals and groups have predicted the end of the world, often basing their claims on celestial events or religious texts. These predictions never came true, further undermining their credibility.
The importance placed on Puerto Rico in Rodriguez’s vision also drew attention. The island nation, which has experienced significant natural disasters in recent years, including hurricanes and earthquakes, is considered by some to be a plausible site for such an event. However, this is purely speculative and not based on any scientific evidence.
