subject: 2012 and Counting - PUBLIC CONCERN ABOUT DOOMSDAY [print this page] Unlike most pseudoscience stories, there seems to be no factual core on which the Nibiru 2012 hoax has been constructed. This is different from, for example, the claims of aliens and a crashed UFO at Roswell, New Mexico. The alien stories are a fabrication, but the core fact is that an instrumented balloon did crash in Roswell on July 7, 1947. There is no similar factual core to Nibiru - just dubious "predictions" from psychics, or the Mayans, or Nostradamus. The rest is pure fiction.
