Harold Camping had predicted that there is going to be a doomsday fireball the will engulf the Earth on October 21, when the saved people will be raptured and the non saved people will burn to death. I don't think it is going to happen because if there is any "fireball" hitting the Earth, NASA will know about it and we will be trying to stop the "fireball."
The best proof for the worrywarts is to check the astronomical events. Lets see if any of the astronomical events are going to pose any "threat" to Earth. October 21 marks a day of the beginning of the Orion ids Meteor Shower, which happens every year. Some people might interpret the meteor shower to be the fireball. There is a comet scheduled to fly by us pretty closely on Oct 16, which is somewhat of a fireball. It is an ice ball, but I doubt it is going to be in collison course to the Earth. But if it was with collision course to the Earth, there will be a lot of devastation and may have some alterations in the climate, but no doomsday.
However, Harold Camping might be off. The closest to the fireball he is talking about and the biggest "doomsday" threat is there is a possibility of an asteroid hitting the Earth on November 8, 2011. This asteroid is supposed to fly by pretty close to the moon, but it won't be close enough for Earth's gravity to pull it down to Earth.
This doomsday scenario is supposedly going to come from space and by checking some astronomy report site, there is nothing spectular. The only thing that could be a "fireball" is nuclear war - some kook will start nuclear war and even that will cause a nuclear winter and intense radiation, which is like the final battle of Armageddon. Or there might be something from underneath the Earth, but I doubt the Earth is going to go kaplewey.
Don't worry about it. I checked the forecasted astronomical events. The possible fireball is most likely going to be a meteor shower which are fireballs.
