A mysterious Friday the 13th UFO (unidentified flying object) called WT1190F is expected to crash on Earth on the unluckiest day in Western superstition - the Black Friday, Nov. 13. But since there are three Friday the 13ths this year compared to one in 2014 and one in 2016, conspiracy theorists claimed that crash could be a sign of impending apocalypse.
Last month, the Friday the 13th UFO dubbed as "WTF" was on a collision course with Earth and is set to land in the Indian Ocean, around 40 miles (65 km) off the southern tip of Sri Lanka, at 6:20 UTC on Nov. 13. According to Daily Express, the Slooh Telescope Internet Channel will be broadcasting the event. They will also the rising danger of space junk orbiting the earth as the amount of objects that crash back down increases.
"While there is no way to know exactly what the object is, scientists at the European Space Agency believe it is a piece of a rocket body falling back to Earth," a Slooh spokesperson said. "Friday the 13th is going to be a lucky one for some scientists hoping to study the effects of our atmosphere on space junk."
As for how to watch the Friday the 13th UFO, Heavy.com said that the bizarre space debris is falling to Earth early Friday morning. No one knows exactly what the object is but it will be descending to the Earth around 1:19 p.m. Central Time. For those who are curious, you can watch a free online stream link here.
The Friday the 13th UFO live stream will be hosted by Slooh astronomers and the commentary will begin at 7 a.m. Central Time and will run until the object hits the Earth in the Afternoon. While it is not expected to be dangerous, the area around its predicted impact has been labeled a "no-fly zone" for Nov. 12 and 13. Boats are also not allowed in the area.
Since Friday the 13th is known as the "day of supernatural manifestations," some religious conspiracy theorists went into overdrive, claiming the looming impact could be a sign before the "Second Coming of Christ and Judgment Day."
In another Daily Express report, even though astronomers have yet to identify the source of the mysterious space debris, it is believed to have been part of something that was once sent into space and now is coming back to Earth. There is also some speculations that it could be the remains of part of a U.S. spacecraft from the lunar space program.
The Friday the 13th UFO mystery was further fueled after pieces of unidentified metal objects have already been landing on earth in Spain and Turkey. However, the uncertainty has also sent UFO chasers and alien hunters into meltdown, amid claims it could be part of a "real alien craft" about the crash to Earth.
Meanwhile, the object, WTF1190F, measures up to 7 feet (2 meters) long. Its trajectory was first calculated in 2012, Daily Mail reported. But the unknown object was rediscovered by University of Arizona's Catalina Sky Survey astronomers earlier in October.
