Research scientist and official representative for Billy Meier, Michael Horn insisted that NASA has previously been wrong about their predictions on the “God of Chaos” Apophis asteroid. During an interview with Express.co.uk, he claimed the space agency would likely now be taking the dangers of the asteroid more seriously. Mr Horn said: “NASA firstly dismissed the possibility that Apophis would hit the Earth.
“They have changed that multiple times now, fortunately, they are seemingly taking it a little more seriously.
“But initially they were completely dismissive of it.
“Then they had to correct their own size estimate of Apophis to within 25 metres of what the original discoverer, a man named Billy Meier stated.
“Meier first published his info on Apophis, at that time he referred to it as the red meteor, but he published his information in 1981.

“That was about the near certainty of Apophis eventually impacting the Earth.
“He published that 23 years before NASA’s so-called discovery in 2004.
“I want to state upfront I am not an astrophysicist nor a mathematician.
“But NASA had to change their estimation and calculations.
Apophis is one of the largest asteroids to pass so close to the Earth’s surface and a collision with the planet has the potential to be devastating for all life on Earth.
The asteroid is set to get closer to the earth than communication and weather satellites in orbit. Most satellites in Earth’s orbit are geostationary orbit 36,000 km away (22,236 miles) from the planet.
Apophis is travelling at almost 25,000 mph meaning a slight detour from its trajectory could be catastrophic.
Michael Horn also referenced the comic illustration of Billy Meir’s presumed initial discovery of the Apophis asteroid before NASA entitled ’The Adventures of Billy Meier.”
